Taylor Swift shakes off rumour she is buying a Scottish castle

Taylor Swift has dismissed rumours she was set to buy a luxury £4.6m castle in Scotland.

Reports had suggested the US singer was interested in the Tower of Lethendy, about 15 miles north of Perth.

But she has now tweeted lines about a castle from the track New Romantics, which features on her multi-million selling album 1989: "Cause baby I could build a castle out of all the bricks they threw at me."

The singer, who is dating Scottish DJ/producer Calvin Harris, added: "I'm not actually buying a castle."
