Henderson Arms Did anyone find out any information on the recent sale of Fordell Castle? I have been to Fordell Castle several times visiting with the Ingles, the castle had been going through much rennovation. I did not have chance to see the completed work since Mr. Ingles past away and then it was sold. Does anyone have recent pictures? I'm willing to share photo's. Also, is there any history, books, literature, old drawings, maps, etc. on the fordell castle estate and the Henderson that once lived there. I look forward to any helful information. Yours Aye! Gary Henderson
AJR I didn't find out the names of the new owners, but did manage to procure a copy of the sales particulars.
hendersonarms AJR- Can I get a copy of the sales on particulars that you may have on Fordell Castle? Is any word on the new owners? hendersonarms@adelphia.net
AJR I got my copy from Knight Frank International in Edinburgh, but this was back in August 1999. They may not have any copies left, unless of course the castle has been put up for sale again (and it may go through different agents).
jinja Fordell was bought by Andrew Berry
hendersonarms The new owner Andrew Berry of Fordell Castle- was the castle purchses as a private residence, or is there other plans?
hendersonarms Also, where can I find details on Fordell Caslte history- original plans, document, etc.
Henderson Arms Is there any more information on Fordell Castle In Fife, Scotland-? I know it has been bought again by Andrew Berry, is the castle still a private residenace or was there other intentions for it's use-? Also, were can I find the original land sketches/drawing/surveys of the building of the castle-? Who was the builder, etc.
John Thomas Henderson Henderson Arms: I found this link ( http://www.geo.ed.ac.uk/scotgaz/features/featuredetails6532.html )giving some, but not of the information you were looking for. While somewhat vague, it is a start. I have must interest in Fordell Castle as (you probably noticed by now) you probably noticed by now, I am a decendent of the family of some of it's former owners. Let me know if there is anything I can do. I have yet to visit Scotland (as I am in the USA), but once I do, I hope to see Fordell Castle. I would love any pictures you have of your visit there; you can e-mail me them at JohnTHenderson@Gmail.com. Thanks,

Malc_Chr Fordell castle sold for �3,850,000 in November, this was the fifth highest sum ever payed for a home in Scotland. The highest being �5,000,000 for Seton Castle last February.
read Scotsman Report, where you'll find a few more castles in the top 50.
