Savile’s Glencoe cottage sells for double estimate
ByThe Courier Reporter
The cottage was targeted with graffiti after details of the Savile scandal emerged.
The highland cottage owned by disgraced TV presenter Jimmy Savile has sold for more than double its asking price at auction.
The remote three-bedroom property in Glencoe was put on the market by trustees of the late DJ’s estate for £100,000 but went under the hammer for £212,000.
The cottage was sold at an evening auction hosted by Ross Harper Property Auctions in Glasgow.
Savile, uncovered as one of Britain’s most prolific sex offenders, bought the whitewashed cottage named Allt Na Reigh in 1998.
The property was sold to an older couple who were present at the auction. They made no comment before they left.
