One of Badenoch and Strathspey's grandest and most expensive houses has been sold for a fee of more than £3 million, media reports have claimed.

Aultmore House, by Nethy Bridge, had been owned by Robert Zimmerman – better know as Bob Dylan – after he and his younger brother David bought the 16 bedroom property in 2006.

But the 82-year-old singer songwriter put the estate back on the market earlier this year.

“They bought it as a base,” Knight Frank agent Tom Stewart-Moore told the Scottish Daily Express.

“They’ve not been able to use it in recent years, and that’s the reason for the sale. Up until about pre-Covid times, Bob and his brother would normally go there for a few weeks a year.”

The deadline for offers on the estate ended this month, with a bid being accepted on the final day.

The A-listed Edwardian mansion, which boasts 18,357 square feet of floor space and four reception rooms, is understood to have 11 bathrooms.

It's 25 acres of land also includes a quaint cottage.
