FURTHER doubts have been cast over claims that the sale of Muness Castle in Unst could come with a barony title.
An offer worth more than £180,000 for the castle and surrounding land was made last week.
Its auction listing said it was believed the castle would come with a barony title, although the buyer was advised to investigate this further.

A Scottish barony title is an officially recognised noble title available to purchase. Barony titles are personal titles separated from the land that they formerly belonged to.
Local archivist and historian Brian Smith said there is, however, no historical record of a barony being linked to Muness.
MUNESS Castle changing hands at auction will not affect the arrangements for the maintenance and care of the A-listed structure, Historic Environment Scotland has clarified.
The 16th century castle and its surrounding crofting land is being sold with offers starting at £130,000.
Historic Environment Scotland maintains the building, which is open to the public and is a popular attraction in Unst.

A spokesperson clarified that the castle is a property in care of Scottish Ministers under legislation and is managed by the agency, and that any sale would not affect this arrangement.
Back in 2006 the castle and land was sold for £65,000. Title deeds for the land show that the proprietor is Gavin Farquhar from the Ecclesgreig Estate in Kincardineshire.
