'Fairytale' Scottish castle beside beautiful loch on sale for £2.6million
The castle, now listed with Knight Frank, has five bedrooms and luxury features like a gym, sauna, and glass-walled dining room A historic Scottish castle by a beautiful loch with a story stretching back more than 800 years has hit the market. The "fairytale" Couston Castle is up for sale for a cool £2.65 million. The restored 16th Century castle near Aberdour in Fife sits on 5.37 acres of landscaped grounds overlooking the tranquil Otterston Loch. The striking property combines centuries of history with exceptional modern upgrades Offering a rare blend of heritage, privacy and luxury less than an hour from Edinburgh, Couston Castle is described by estate agent Knight Frank as an 'outstanding fairytale castle' that has been 'maintained to the highest standard'. Inside, it features five bedrooms and a wide array of bespoke features, including a gym suite with sauna and wet room, a vaulted sitting room with a rescued fireplace, and a stunning glass-walled dining and living space finished with Caithness stone flooring. The state-of-the-art kitchen is fitted with Gaggenau appliances and dual islands, ideal for entertaining or family life. Additional highlights include an office, cinema room, oak-panelled drawing room and a luxurious principal suite with a copper bath. There is also a bunk room, multiple en suites and a guest or staff flat above a triple garage. Outside, the beautifully maintained grounds include an orchard, a play area, outdoor kitchen, dog kennels, a gardener's compound and a two-storey barn with modern utilities. A stone and gravel courtyard connects the buildings, all thoughtfully integrated into the historical fabric of the estate. The castle's story begins in the late 12th century, when Robert de London, the illegitimate son of King William the Lion, granted Couston and other lands to Roger Frebern. By the 16th century, a fortified castle stood on the site, equipped with artillery. In the following century, King James V issued a charter to James Logan of Couston, during whose tenure the building was remodelled into a form close to its present-day layout. In the 1660s, the castle was home to Reverend Robert Blair, a professor at Glasgow University and former tutor to King Charles I. Exiled from St Andrews due to his covenanting views, Blair lived out his final years at Couston, dying there in 1666. Over time, the castle fell into disrepair. Much of it was dismantled in the 1840s for farm building materials, leaving behind only partial ruins, including a 17th-century stair base and doorway. It remained largely forgotten until the 1980s, when businessman Alastair Harper bought the site and commissioned architect Ian Begg to restore it. Using original stone from Otterston Loch and salvaged rubble, they painstakingly rebuilt the structure, preserving the historic layout. Their work was recognised with a Saltire Society Award in 1988. The current owners have since added further refinements, including contemporary bathrooms, a modern kitchen and luxurious high-end finishes throughout. These developments have transformed Couston Castle into a unique, multi-level family home that is both rooted in the past and designed for modern living.

Inside 'fairytale' Scottish castle on sale for over £2.6 million
If you ever fantasised about living in a fairytale castle as a child, this stunning lochside property near Edinburgh could make your childhood dreams come true. Overlooking Otterston Loch, Couston Castle has been restored over the years to the highest standard, providing its residents with a perfect blend of historic features and high-end modern amenities. With a history which can be traced back to the 16th century, Couston Castle has been remodelled several times, including once with involvement from James V, King of Scots. It fell into disrepair in the early 19th century, when its stone was used to provide farm steading. For over a century it remained a ruin, but in the 1980s Dunfermline businessman Alastair Harper purchased the castle and began restoring it to its former glory using as many original materials as possible. Most of the present Couston Castle is modern, with its historic features restored where possible. The castle has been further upgraded by its current owners who use it as a family home, with a modern kitchen and new bathrooms, which have brought the finish of the property up to a very high standard. Its amenities include a cinema, home office and gym, five bedrooms, five bathrooms, two WCs as well as a vaulted sitting room, dining room and drawing room.

Luxury Highton makeover delivers grand entertainer for any occasion
Entertaining on a grand scale takes centre stage at this opulent Highton home set among lush manicured gardens. With a formal dining room accommodating up to 24 people for a sit-down dinner and a private outdoor terrace centred around a stone fireplace, the sprawling residence opens the door to almost any social occasion. It's the result of a painstaking two-year renovation by the vendors who set out to transform their dark and timber-heavy house into a luxurious, light-filled oasis big enough to host their large family. They extended the original footprint of 3 Scampton Court, Highton, in several places to create a sprawling five-bedroom home with three distinct living areas on the main level as well as a new downstairs rumpus room in space 'pinched' from the garage. 'It's practically a brand new house,' the vendor says. 'We have got lots of grandkids so we just wanted it to be a family home. The family fits (in the dining room) and we do a lot of entertaining so its an entertainer's house.' One of their biggest bugbears with the old design was the dark and dingy central kitchen where a light always needed to be turned on. By contrast, the new kitchen and meals area sits under a 6m-high ceiling with clerestory windows that flood the room with light. The old timber and black granite finishes have been replaced with a large quartzite island bench with an insinkerator, as well as premium appliances including a Gaggenau oven tower, steam oven, 900mm induction cooktop, a discrete built-in Liebherr fridge/freezer and a butler's pantry. A brass motif on glass-fronted cupboards is another lavish touch that's repeated in the corner bar off the nearby living area. The outdoors beckons in the adjoining formal dining room, where multiple sets of French doors link to covered area with a built-in barbecue and the beautiful terraced garden. While the flat lawn area is popular with younger family members, the vendors say everyone gravitates to the feature open fireplace. A second living space, with a vaulted ceiling and wraparound windows framing garden views on three sides, is another favourite hangout. It oozes luxury thanks to a marble fireplace, custom cabinetry, herringbone timber flooring, a modern chandelier with matching wall sconces and Lane Kelly drapes. In addition to the main bedroom with its Carrara marble ensuite, the house has a second guest retreat with its own sitting area, walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and private entrance. 'I thought as our parents got older … if a nurse was needed to come, external access would be handy,' the vendor says. 'Even for teenage or a parents' retreat, it's multipurpose.' The 1215sq m package also includes dual driveways, a double garage and a storage room. Jellis Craig Geelong agent Marcus Falconer is handling the sale of 3 Scampton Court, Highton. Price hopes are $2.795m to $2.995m.
