If you plan to live in a castle then that dream is not very far away as a Scottish castle is on sale for offers over £30,000 ($37,000).

However, the current owners of the castle believe that people willing to buy it might need another  £12 million ($14.8 million) for restoration.

Situated on Fetlar, the fourth largest of the Shetland Islands, Brough Lodge is in one of the most remote parts of the UK, reports CNN.

The castle can be reached by ferry from the Shetland mainland.

To reach the Shetland mainland, people can commute an hour and a half flight from Edinburgh.

Some interesting details about the castle:

Brough Lodge in Fetlar was constructed in 1825 by Arthur Nicolson, a merchant in Lerwick, as per the official website of the castle.

The house was built on the site of an earlier "Haa" house, believed to be the section known as ‘the workshop’ that forms part of the frontal façade, though nothing is really known about the earlier building.

Brough Lodge was in the Nicolson family until 2007, read the website.

Arthur Nicolson had acquired the lands in Fetlar in 1805 in partial settlement of a debt owed by Andrew Bruce of Urie, who had died in 1803.
