Families can reinvent themselves as ancient Scottish royalty in a pink castle from the much-loved children's programme Balamory, available to rent for £1,875 per night. 

Fenton Tower in East Lothian, close to North Berwick and about 20 miles from Edinburgh, is known to most today as the home of Archie the inventor from the hit BBC show.

However, the 20-acre site of the seven-bedroom castle has a history stretching as far back as the 11th Century, and became a favourite of King James VI after it gave him refuge from rebels. 

In 1650, the tower was sacked by Oliver Cromwell's armies and stood as a ruin for nearly 350 years before its £2million restoration by Ian Simpson and John Macaskill. 

Now a listed ancient monument, groups of 13 can stay at Fenton Tower for £1,875 per night. A listing on website Host Unusual states: 'Reinvent yourself as ancient Scottish royalty, in a historic castle tower that looks over the majestic countryside of East Lothian.

'You'll find you're in the ideal position to survey your new kingdom, with 360-degree panoramic views of rolling countryside, complete with a host of country activities to enjoy.

'Opened in 2002 following its stunning restoration, Fenton Tower provides true luxury, five-star accommodation for up to 13 guests. Arriving in style has never been easier, with the castle's very own private helicopter pad ready and waiting!'
