A stunning 14th century Scottish castle, which was once owned by a businessman who almost bought Man Utd for just £20m, is looking for new owners.
Killochan Castle was once the pride and joy of Michael Knighton, a hard working property developer who almost added the world-famous club to his portfolio in the late 80s.
The historic tower house, which is surrounded by stunning Ayrshire countryside, was even said to be the location where the £20m plot to buy the Manchester-based club was hatched during an evening of fine wine and malt.
At the time, this was a record figure for a British football club and the offer was even accepted by club's chief executive.
Pushing his dream that it was possible to turn United into the "world’s wealthiest club", he even appeared on the pitch in a full team kit for a photocall.
However, it was not to be and though the deal, in which the English businessman promised to invest £10 million in rejuvenating Old Trafford, eventually fell through, he is still remembered as the man who introduced the idea that the club could be a money making machine, something unthought of in those days.
Other previous owners of the A-list building at Old Dailly in the Girvan Valley have included German Princess Viola von Hohenzollern, who sold the castle to an unnamed Saudi tycoon.
Now looking for new owners, with its beautiful location, incredible views out to the Firth of Clyde and Ailsa Craig, as well as luxurious interiors, we guess it won't take long for someone to register their interest in taking the historic tower house on.
Described by estate agents Savills as "one of the finest fortified houses in Scotland", it was recently extensively refurbished and comes with spectacular reception rooms, eight bedrooms, 166 acres of grounds and even salmon fishing rights on the Water of Girvan.
The castle, which is price on application, also comes with a gatehouse and two cottages within the grounds.
Owned by the Carleton branch of the Cathcart family - granted to them by Robert the Bruce - for over five hundred years until it was sold in 1954, it was first built back in 1338 as a four-storey tower house with "impregnably thick walls".
Famed architects Robert and James Adam, who are known for their work on nearby Culzean Castle, also worked on the site, designing a new wing and adding the gatehouse.
