A SCOTTISH hotel originally built as the home of textile baron has gone up for sale.
The Scots baronial-style mansion Taypark House was built around 1863 for Alexander Low as a private residence set in the grounds of the Taypark House Estate in Dundee.
However, it has since been used for a variety of purposes such as a training centre, a care home and a medical research offices.
Most recently it has been used as a 10-bedroom four-star hotel, which also features two two-bedroom apartments and a four-bedroom luxury holiday let called the Stables.

Estate agents Christie & Co said the asking price for the property was around £3 million.
Gary Witham, Scottish hospitality team director at Christie & Co, said: "The current owners developed the estate as a hotel and weddings & events venue.
"The hotel was then leased to the current experienced operators whilst the owners redeveloped The Stables, to complete the high-quality estate. Now that development is complete, they feel it is time to move on and allow a new owner to asset manage the business to their chosen format.
"The current lease and business of the hotel will not be impacted by the sale."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
