Ayton Castle in the Scottish Borders is owned by Ian Liddell-Grainger, a conservative MP in Somerset. It is now being sold by the politician for offers over £3m.
The A-listed building, near Eyemouth, was built on the site of an old country home in 1845 by James Gillespie Graham who was a renowned Gothic revival architect.
