The former world heavyweight champion dropped by Carbisdale Castle in the Highlands.
He was shown around the grounds of the 118-year-old country pile and told of the work that had gone into transforming it into a luxury home.
But owner Samantha Kane was unable to welcome the Gypsy King as she attending Royal Ascot in Berkshire.
She said: "World-famous heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury made an unexpected visit to Carbisdale Castle while I was at Ascot yesterday and was greeted by Sarah and Michael, who showed him around the Castle and what was achieved in bringing Carbisdale to its former glory.
'He was very impressed indeed. Thank you Tyson for your visit.'
Earlier this week, Fury was spotted strutting topless around Grantown-on-Spey in Moray wearing a red tartan kilt and matching tie.
The 9ft 9ins star got fitted out at a kiltmaker in the small town and chatted with locals.
He also enjoyed a drink in the Claymore Bar where he downed Guinness and posed for photos with staff.
The ex-boxer has also visited Wick and John O'Groats in the Caithness region.
He is visiting with his wife, Paris, children and film crew as he makes the second season of At Home With The Fury's.

He happily posed for photos with fans, including Cromdale FC manager Stuart Dunbar, who jokingly tried to sign him up.
Ms Kane is the only person in Britain to have changed gender three times.
Born in Iraq as a man, named Sam Hashimi, she had surgery in 1997 to become Samantha, before a second operation in 2004 when she changed her name to Charles Kane and then a third surgery to become Samantha again in 2018.
The barrister and business tycoon spearheaded a Saudi bid to buy Sheffield United Football Club in 2000.
She called herself Lady Carbisdale after buying the dilapidated 19-bedroom clifftop castle, near Ardgay, in 2022.
Fury retired in January, eight months after suffering the only defeat of his career at the time when he lost to Oleksandr Usyk by split decision.
During a rematch last December, the Ukrainian won by unanimous decision.

Jeff Fenech breaks silence on his daughter's big baby announcement with NRL star Bradman Best - after saying he didn't want her to date a footy player
Aussie boxing legend Jeff Fenech has spoken of his pride after his daughter Kayla announced she and NRL star Bradman Best were expecting a baby. The former IBF and WBC title holder had previously stated that he didn't want his daughter to date a rugby league player but has now changed his tune after meeting the Newcastle Knights star. Kayla and Best announced that they were expecting a baby in 2026 on Instagram last week. 'Baby Best due in January 2026. We can't wait,' Kayla wrote on the social media platform. But despite his earlier comments, Fenech has now spoken of his delight at the news. 'They are so happy,' he told The Daily Telegraph. 'And I'm so proud of both of them. Whether it's a boy or a girl, the baby is going to have some great genes. 'And they'll be great parents. You know how much I love Kayla and Bradman is a great fella who will make a great dad.' Fenech said he went 'apes***' when he found out his daughter was dating a footy player. 'I'd always warned my girls about going out with league players,' he had previously said. He added: 'So when she rang and told me, I went off the deep end. I gave her a roasting. She kept trying to say, "Dad, he's a lovely guy". Kayla was telling me every day how nice he was.' But it his opinion has changed since meeting Best, with Fenech, one of the country's greatest fighters, now also having gone down to the gym to train with the footy star. 'Bradman knew I was angry, but he told Kayla, "I'll prove your dad wrong" - and he has,' Fenech added. Kayla has over 200,000 followers on Instagram and works as a business development manager for Ray White. He added that he was 'so proud' of the pair having also previously revealed that he and Best had gone down to the gym to train together After announcing the big news on Instagram last week, the pair received a heartfelt reception from many of their close friends and family. Her mother, Suzee, wrote in the comments: 'Omg I'm so proud of you both, can't wait to meet my gorgeous little bubba. 'Super excited to be on this next chapter/journey with you both. Luv u both.' Jeff has also previously sung Best's praises and lifted the lid on how their training went. 'Maybe he was trying to impress his future father-in-law,' Fenech said. He was very impressive when we trained. 'When we first met, you could tell he was a good young man. He's treating Kayla beautifully. Like a gentleman. They're very happy. And so is my wife Suzee and I. 'The only time I got dirty is when he scored two tries against my Parramatta side last weekend and beat us.'

'Tuipulotu finds feet again and hails world-class Ringrose and Russell'
Having missed the Six Nations through injury, Sione Tuipulotu feels he's now finding his best stuff again, the kind of power and influence that shot him to favourite for the Lions Test 12 jersey in the first place."I'm starting to get my feet back underneath me," said the centre after playing the full 80 minutes in the convincing win over Western Force on Saturday."Obviously, I haven't played Test rugby since the autumn. I still feel like I've got massive growth to do and I know I can start playing my best rugby in the bigger games at the end of this tour."There's no doubt he is getting better with every game. There's also no doubt that the battle for the Test midfield partnership is Perth the partnership was Tuipulotu and Garry Ringrose, who the Scotland captain was impressed by, to put it mildly. "Jeez, mate, he's a missile out there," Tuipulotu said of the Irishman's enjoyed being alongside Ringrose in the red of the Lions as opposed to in front of him in the blue of last time Tuipulotu faced Ringrose in the international arena was at the World Cup in Paris in 2023. Ireland sprinted into a 36-0 lead before Scotland managed a couple of late consolation tries. Ringrose was exceptional on one of the darker days of Tuipulotu's Test career."He backed himself to make those [defensive] reads," said Tuipulotu of the howitzers Ringrose put in on a succession of Western Force attackers. "He left a few sore bodies out there, including himself. What a player."I really enjoyed playing with him. And then I also enjoyed when Shuggie [Huw Jones] came off the bench and got some valuable minutes after being out for a while."In all probability Jones, after his Lions debut against the Force, will get his chance to shine from the start on Wednesday when Andy Farrell's side face the more difficult challenge of the Reds in Brisbane. The Reds, coached by incoming Wallabies boss Les Kiss, finished fifth in this season's Super Rugby compared to the Force who struggled in in Perth, when the stadium announcer was calling the teams, Tuipulotu was introduced as "another former Aussie Sione Tuipulotu", a crack at the Melbourne-born centre's expense. Mack Hansen, James Lowe and Pierre Schoeman, the other southern hemisphere-born Lions, got similar treatment from the wiseguy with the had a chuckle at the wind-up. "I knew there would be some good humour coming back home to Australia," he said. "Look, these are all things we've got to take in our stride. To not announce the elephant in the room, I am from Australia. You know, I was born here. I don't know how funny that gag is to everyone."But I'm loving my rugby playing for the Lions and I'm really passionate about it. Andy [Farrell] has brought the group together so well. To play under a coach like him, I can see why Ireland has been so successful in the past." Tuipulotu also spoke about fly-half Finn Russell's influence on the game and the stamp he's putting on the 2025 Lions."We're taking ideas from all the nations. Obviously, the coaching style is very Ireland dominant and there's a lot of ideas that we're getting from the Irish coaches, but then they're sprinkled on. When Finn comes in, he plays his style. He plays to the structure of the team, but he's a very instinctive player and he wants to play what's directly in front of his face."There's a mixture there and I think that's what's going to make it hard to defend for teams. They're not necessarily defending a structure of play, they're kind of defending a structure of play with really supreme individuals conducting it, like Finn."Finn coming into the line-up helped a lot. I've played a lot of rugby with Finn so that combination doesn't really need to be worked on."He's a world-class number 10. He's been here, done that. He's come off a really good season after winning the Premiership with Bath and I thought him and Tomos [Williams] controlled the game and were able to move the ball like we talked about during the week. You could see how we're trying to play the game."In a lighter moment during the press conference after the game, Farrell mentioned that the squad had created their own song, a first blast coming in Perth."I think Fin Smith and Huw Jones wrote up the song. We got the first crack of it in the changing room. I'd like to perfect it before I share it to the world. Yeah it was pretty rough, to be honest. We were off beat, so we're going to need a few more practice runs before we nail it and put it out to the media."Out of tune off the pitch, perhaps, but they hit enough right notes against the Force. Onwards to Brisbane now and the Reds on Wednesday.
