Historic island castle visited by The King put up on market after locals agree to sale

Kinloch Castle - (Nest Marketing)

Category A listed Kinloch Castle on the Isle of Rum has been put up for sale by Scotland’s nature agency, NatureScot, for offers over £750,000, following local agreement that the island castle should be sold and brought back into use.

NatureScot, the current owner, faces substantial yearly maintenance costs, making its sale the only feasible option to secure necessary investment. Built between 1897 and 1901 for Sir George Bullough, the castle was acquired in 1957 by the Nature Conservancy Council, NatureScot’s predecessor.
