Perched high on a windswept Scottish cliffside, the ruins of Dunskey Castle are an impressive and foreboding sight.
The colossal structure dates back to the 12th century and for generations has been a beacon to ships at sea as well as an important archeological monument considered 'nationally important' by the government.
But this week, residents living in the isolated community of Portpatrick were confused to see notice that the sprawling ruin and eight-acre plot where it squats had been listed for sale on Rightmove for the princely sum of £100k.
In a strange listing, which described the wreck as a 'detached house', estate agents Strutt and Parker crowed that the 'scheduled monument' offered views of Northern Ireland on a clear day and was 'the ideal location for dramatic scenes in movies.'
But news that town's biggest landmark had been put up for sale mystified locals who couldn't believe the remote location was privately owned by anyone.
