Bob Dylan's Scottish estate sells for over $5M
Singer bought home in 2006 for just over $2 million
Bob Dylan's Scottish Highland country house has sold for just over $5 million.
Dylan's property, known as Aultmore House, was built between 1911 and 1915. The home was fully reconstructed in 2000, a few years before Dylan purchased the home.
Dylan, whose legal name is Robert Zimmermann, first acquired the property with his younger brother, David, in 2006 for just over $2 million, Tatler magazine reported.

Stewart-Moore told The Times that Dylan and his brother decided to sell the home after the coronavirus pandemic. Prior to the pandemic, Dylan and his younger brother would visit the Scottish estate a few times a year and rent it out when they weren't occupying it.

Aultmore House has a long, gated entrance. Inside the three-story main residence is ample natural light due to the many floor-to-ceiling windows and a lot of the original work from the early 1900s, including plasterwork on the ceilings, archways and timber floors, Forbes magazine reported.
