Towie Barclay Castle measures 3,380 square feet, with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. In the 1980s, the couple paid $46,400 for some extra land, upping the castle’s grounds to almost 3 acres.

The Ellingtons took it upon themselves to rescue a part of this rich heritage, the decrepit, almost-500-year-old Towie Barclay Castle, which they transformed into a family home.
