A mansion built on site of Princess Diana‘s grandmother’s former home has gone on sale for £7.5million – complete with a spa and tennis court.
Dalhebity House, in Deeside, Aberdeenshire, was created by business tycoon and ex-Aberdeen Football club chairman Stewart Milne and his partner Joanna Robertson.
The couple worked with a team of architects and craftsmen to build the extraordinary house, believed to be the most expensive property currently available in Scotland.
The eight-bedroom house extends to more than 30,000 square feet and includes a spa complex, swimming pool and staff accommodation.
Built on the site of Diana, Princess of Wales’ late grandmother’s former home, it is surrounded by about ten acres, with trees and woodland ensuring privacy.

‘It’s a traditional classical house, built using modern methods of construction, a dream home with everything you could wish for within it.
‘It is indeed a large house, but designed and laid out in a way that makes it a very liveable, wonderful family home, set in beautiful mature grounds, in the county, but on the edge of the city.
‘A modern-built house of this stature is utterly unique in Scotland and it’s an extraordinary achievement.
‘A new owner can be confident of a private setting and yet first-class airport and city accessibility too.’
Diana’s grandmother Ruth Roche, Baroness Fermoy, the mother of Diana’s mother Frances Shand Kydd, was a close confidante and lady-in-waiting of The Queen Mother and played a part in preparing Diana for royal life after her engagement to Charles.
Lady Fermoy sounded a note of caution when Diana and Charles first began courting, telling her: ‘Darling, you must understand that their sense of humour and lifestyle are very different, and I don’t think it will suit you.’
