The 400-year-old Scottish castle that's up for sale at just £100k

Nestled into the dramatic coastline of south-west Scotland is Dunskey Castle - a 16th-century abode with breathtaking views across the Irish Sea.

A magnificent landmark on the coastal path, just south of the village of Portpatrick, this medieval ruin is steeped in history and legend, drawing visitors and filmmakers alike.

Dunskey is thought to occupy the site of the earlier Adair Castle, which was destroyed around 1500. The later structure was built for the Adairs of Kinhilt, who owned the Castle of St John in Stranraer.

The castle has been derelict since around 1700, but its imposing remains still portray its earlier grandeur.

It has starred in several films, including the 1951 film Kidnapped, based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel, the Dirk Bogarde film Hunted, and the 1992 thriller Double X: The Name of the Game starring Norman Wisdom.

Now, the intriguing structure is on the market - and it could be bought for just £100,000.

As well as the structure, the lucky buyer would have the keys to eight acres of surrounding land with dramatic clifftop views, from which Northern Ireland, just 20 miles away, can be spotted on a clear day.
