THE FACTS ABOUT CASTLE STUART

Scotland

The owner, Charles Stuart, has spent 15 years renovating the 400-year old castle, which had been abandoned, roofless, for 300 years. The castle is officially a 'tower house' with two circular towers linked by a central block. Inside, the furniture has been crafted from 400-year-old reclaimed oak into sturdy beds and all rooms have gas-powered open fires and soft furnishings.
