Thanks to Ingek73 for sending a bunch of castles for sale. I was particularly fascinated by this mustard-colored house, which was the summer home for the families of the Earls of Kellie and is A-listed as an historic building in Scotland. Located in Pittenweem, Fife, it was built in 1590, and has it's own turret. 4fls., 5bds, offers over £645,000 / $796K accepted and it does need some updating.
Seriously, for under $1M, it's like a small castle. Look at this sitting rooms paneled walls. It's a little dusty, and the floors need some refurbishing.
I don't know if any of the furnishings convey, but look at how bright it is, it's not a dreary old castle by any means.
The original foyer is preserved. I would feel like royalty entering this residence.
This has to be one of the first-ever spiral staircases. Only the wood steps must've been added later. I love this.
The cabinetry is a little too modern, but it has an Aga stove, in blue (love the colors they come in) and the flooring matches.
The kitchen is definitely spacious. I wish that you could paint the cabinets and change out the hardware, but you can't do that with these- they're laminate and have built-in handles.
Hello, lover. This model costs over $32K.
It looks like they may have stripped the carpeting off the floors. This is a nice big dining room with a fireplace and built-in shelving. I can't get over how much light this home gets.
Very nice. This room can be a library or an art studio. That looks like a built-in display case in the middle.
Closeup of one of the beautiful fireplaces. I would like to darken the wood a bit, and take out the orange tinge, but that would cost a fortune.
I would say that this is a bedroom. Everything looks freshly painted white, so it's a blank slate. Nice built-in cabinet along the wall.
Nice bedroom, it has a nook.
Cute little room for a study or home office.
This bath needs some attention.
A bedroom in the process of being packed up.
Ooh, I see a potential craft space in here.
Love the red sink in this nice big powder room.
Here's a cool room. The colors of royalty.
The rooms on this floor are a bit small, but cozy.
Someone really liked red baths. The plumbing fixtures look pretty new, though.
What an interesting room. Look at the beams and the old stove in the fireplace.
The courtyard and gardens have become overgrown and need some cutting back, but they will be beautiful.
There are sea views from the upper floors. A private road provides access to off-street parking, also.
The home is located in the renowned East Neuk arts festival village, and for chocolate lovers, the town has its own chocolate factory.

“The two witches hurried to the old Crow King’s tree to meet up with their friend for their monthly reunion!“
I didn’t get a lot of time for this one today, so I hope a simplier stylized one is ok! Maybe one of these days I will return to it and redo it in a different palette and style!
How did Charlemagne present himself to his subjects?
For much of his reign, he didn’t even put his face on coins. I find the way the mints wrote his Latinized name, Carolus, on them, delightfully chaotic:
But, late in his reign, Charlemagne did start to put his image on money. He styled himself as an old-time Roman Emperor (albeit with a little mustache). On this coin, he sports a wreath around his head and classical-era Roman clothing. Around his head is written “Karolus Imp Aug” — Charles, Imperator (Emperor) and Augustus:
