Do you dream of owning your own castle in Scotland?
What about a boutique hotel?

This might seem like a steal, but the castle, calledBrough Lodge, is hardly livable.
In fact, a trust dedicated to the castle’s preservation has a plan the buyer must also finance.
Brough Lodge was built in 1825 by a merchant named Arthur Nicolson.

Since then, the castle has been passed down the family line.
However, no one has lived there since 1970.
In 1998, the Brough Lodge Trust began as a Building Preservation Trust, a registered charity.

The building received a new roof around 10 years ago.
The hotel will fit within the existing building in a respectful way.
The Shetland Islands are remoteonly 69 people live full-time on Fetlar.
However, they are rich in cultural heritage centered around sheep farming and wool.
They also are home to the delightful Shetland Pony breed.
