Inside the 16th century Scottish castle for sale with a link to Mary Queen of Scots

An "outstanding" 10-bedroom castle that comes with royal history is available to purchase.

Myres Castle, which is located around 36 miles from Edinburgh near Auchtermuchty, is on the market for offers over £3,500,000. The castle dates back to the 16th century when John Scrymgeour, who oversaw the refurbishment of both Holyrood Palace and Falkland Palace for James V, built the original House of Myres in about 1530.

The property was then passed to the Moncrieff family, who owned it for almost 200 years before selling it to the King's Printer in 1820. After this, the castle became the dower house for the nearby Falkland Palace in the 1870s, before being sold to James Fairlie in 1887.
