Scots mum secretly forks out £250k on derelict castle before having to come clean to hubby
A mum 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 £5million 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. She said: “I put the offer in without telling anyone and was shocked when I got the call to say it was mine.
“I had to go home and tell my husband I’d bought a castle and he wasn’t too pleased at first. People think I’m mad but I knew when I saw it I could make this place something special again.”
