Inside the Scottish castle flat for sale once owned by Robert the Bruce

A two-bedroom flat has gone up for sale inside a Scottish castle once owned by Robert the Bruce, allowing people to see inside the historic estate.

Pitreavie Castle was once owned by Robert the Bruce who gifted it to his sister Lady Christina Bruce in the 14th Century, and following the Second World War acted as the the headquarters of NATO North Atlantic Area.

Since then, it has been converted into a collection of apartments — though its history can still be felt in the interior.
