She said: "With so much natural beauty and history Orchardton gripped me immediately.

"I found it to be a magical, tranquil and healing place; the castle and its lands have their own micro-climate due to the Gulf Stream and the sheltered bay, we even have a palm tree.

"The competition is a great way to raise money for important causes and I only taking enough to pay off the mortgage and get somewhere closer to my mother.

"If you win you will be offered a week at Orchardton to decide if you want to accept the prize or to take a cash prize instead.

"Orchardton could be put to so many good uses, but I understand that some people will want to just sell the prize as it is such high value or take a cash prize.

"I will be happy to introduce the winner to the property and to discuss the ample opportunities for businesses Orchardton possesses. It would also make a fantastic home for several families."
