A historic tower which boasts a prime location on a wooded hill near Perth has been sold.
Enjoying views out over the Carse of Gowrie and the river Tay, Binn Hill Tower presents a major restoration project for the new owners.
Built for the 14th Lord Gray of Kinfauns in 1815 as an observatory and romantic feature to enhance the dramatic landscape, it is now neglected and decaying.
The B-listed tower was put up for sale by Sally Carracher from Edinburgh whose late father Gavin Alston had an architect draw up plans to convert it into a home.
She took the unusual step of offering the tower for sale on Gumtree and after it featured in The Courier she received a flurry of interest in the building, which had a £28,000 price tag.
Although not drawn on the price paid, she described it as a “sensible offer.”
