A SCOTS Rapunzel tower has hit the market – and it can be yours for just £80,000.
The four-storey Gothic tower provides impressive views for anyone wanting to indulge in a princess moment by staring out of the tall tower to the surrounding Binn forest.
The only catch is it has no running water, no kitchen and no bathroom or other amenities.
So, before you lock your Princess in the top floor, remember you have to provide food, water, and sanitation facilities two or three times a day.
Binnhill Tower, situated in Kinfauns, Perth, was designed in 1839 by the Scottish politician Sir Frances Gray, 14th Lord Gray.
It was built as an observatory and focal point for Kinfauns Castle, a nearby gothic mansion.
The nearby villages of Kinsfauns, near the River Tay, offer scenic views as well as good connections to surrounding villages.

It is a ten-minute drive to reach the city of Perth, and for a further journey out, 30 minutes in a car to reach Dundee.
The listing states: “This prominent landmark represents a truly rare and unique opportunity for anyone seeking a historic and romantic building that is ripe for a Grand Designs-style transformation.
“The square-shaped tower is reached by a beautiful woodland approach, just a short distance from the nearest road, with the arched front door opening into a ground-floor space that would be easy to imagine as a homely living area.”
“The tower has lapsed planning permission to be restored and converted into a dwelling, and it comes with a small footprint of land.
“Recently, the property has undergone some repair work, including the replacement of joists and the addition of a roof to make it watertight from the top.
“Externally, Binnhill Tower comes with a footprint of land that is perfect for admiring the lavish landscape.”

A Shuswap man was seriously injured after being attacked by a rooster and turkeys.
On July 28, Chase RCMP was asked to check on the well-being of someone at a home in Celista. Upon arrival, they found a man who had been attacked by some angry birds. The man had already received medical attention.
His injuries included two broken hips, a broken finger and multiple lacerations.
Police were told that the birds in question have already been scheduled to receive the “death penalty for their crimes,” said Sgt. Barry Kennedy.
It is not known if implicated turkeys will be served at this Thanksgiving dinner.
