Set on the side of Loch Ness in Scotland, you know Loch Ness, the place where Nessie the Loch Ness Monster lives!
Aldourie Castle
Aldourie Castle – On the Loch
Roger is the current owner of Broughton Hall the large stately home that has been handed down generation to generation, so he knows a bit about looking after large properties. Broughton Hall is now an exclusive rental property which you can hire out, at a cost for special occasions.
Sadly Baracks life changed and he needed to move full time back to America, the castle had all the plans to be something special but now no one to do the work. For many months Roger had been working with Barack before his move back and obviously spent a lot of his time planning the build. Not one to see something so special not realise Roger offered to buy Aldourie Castle and complete what they started.
This was a huge decision as there was a lot money at stake. Roger saw the whole picture and stressed ahead with the restore.
Many many month later Roger completed the restore to an extremely high standard. He moved some of the furniture from Broughton Hall up to the castle to help fill it’s many rooms. But one of the best things he did and at the right time was to hire a great team. I have had the opportunity to meet some of this team and they help make both Aldourie Castle and Broughton Hall.
Fast forward to 2013 and you can now also hire Aldourie Castle for exclusive use. The castle is 5 star and now a running business to help keep it that way. In 2014 Roger decided that is time looking after Aldourie Castle must come to and end, he set out what Barack and his self set out to do and now I guess needs a new project. Aldourie Castle was put on the market for around £15 million which is a lot of money but he did transform this property.

In 2014 it was bought by Danish fashion magnate billionaire Anders Holch Povlsen. Anders has recently bought many properties and land in Scotland so we think Aldourie Castle is in safe hands. The business will continue to be rented out as exclusive hire for years to come.
