A Wishaw businesswoman has taken on the ultimate Grand Designs project, after buying an abandoned 15th century castle.
Nicole Rudder bought her dream project in secret – the dilapidated Garrion Tower – and is working on £5 million plans to transform it into a luxury wedding venue.
The 32-year-old was originally sent the advert for the sale of the tower as a joke by a friend but, after taking a drive to view the building, she fell in love with it and snapped it up.
