Description

Law Castle, a 15th-century medieval tower house, is a rare and remarkable example of a fully restored historic landmark. Commissioned in 1467 as a wedding gift for Princess Mary Stuart, the castle has a rich history, having been a law court and even a pit prison. After falling into disrepair, the castle underwent a meticulous restoration project, completed in 2005, which preserved its authentic period features while integrating modern comforts. The six-story, 3,000-square-foot residence offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of Scotland's noble past. The ground floor features a library bedroom, dungeon dining room, and entrance hall, while the first floor boasts a breathtaking Great Hall with a stone fireplace, exposed timber beams, and soaring proportions. The kitchen, set beneath a stone arch, has a cast iron AGA and wooden cabinetry, blending traditional and modern elements. The six beautifully appointed bedrooms, including the enchanting princess bedroom, offer a range of personalities and features, from four-poster beds to window seats. With its dramatic architecture, rich history, and modern comforts, Law Castle is an extraordinary property that offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of Scotland's past.
