House prices may be falling in many parts of Scotland, but at the top of the market there are no shortage of seven-figure properties on the market.
Those two problems probably won’t be of too much concern to those thinking of buying one of these lavish houses though.
Here are 13 of Scotland’s most expensive properties that are currently on the market.
1. Earlshall Castle: £8 million
