BOB DYLAN BUYS SCOTTISH MANSION

Bob Dylan has bought a $4.5 million Scottish mansion.The music legend and his brother, David Zimmerman, have purchased Aultmore House, an Edwardian highland hideaway, together.The remote 10-bedroom property is nestled in 25 acres of woodland near the village of Nethy Bridge, Inverness-shire, and surrounded by the stunning Cairngorm mountains.The 65-year-old singer-and-songwriter fell in love with the historical house after spending a week there last spring, when it operated as a five-star hotel. Dylan - real name Robert Allen Zimmerman - and his brother purchased the property last year under the family name of Zimmerman. Knight Frank, the selling agents, yesterday, confirmed the house -which has featured on BBC TV drama 'Monarch of the Glen' - was sold to a "member of Bob Dylan's family". As a keen golfer, another attraction drawing Dylan to the area could be the local golf club. But Abernethy club treasurer, Jack McCool, has warned Dylan he should not expect any special treatment. He said: "Mr Dylan will have to apply in writing just like everybody else and be vetted by the committee."
