Cut price Dumbarton mansion plummets by more than £1m in value

A stunning Dumbarton castle once valued at £1.7million has plunged in price to just £675,000.

Dalmoak Castle, which has 14 bedrooms, was put up for sale in 2017 but is still yet to sell.

Savills originally set the asking price at £1.7m, which was cut to offers over £895,000 last year.

However, it has now dropped even further to offers over £675,000.

During the Second World War the Royal Air Force used Dalmoak Castle as its local headquarters.

Most recently a care home, which closed in 2013, the property dates from the 1860s and is built on land roamed by Robert the Bruce almost 600 years earlier.

The Alexander Watt-designed house features stained glass windows, the largest of which is around 10ft high by three feet wide.

They depict relatives of the man who built the house, wine and spirit merchant James Aitken.

The accommodation includes 14 bedrooms, many with en suites, a basement with wine cellar, offices/ studies and a grand hallway with imperial staircase and arched stained glass windows on the landing.
