The Brits climate change minister, Charles Hendry, is facing accusations of hypocrisy after buying himself a 20-bedroom castle–with a potentially massive carbon footprint–as a second home.
Blair Castle in Ayrshire, which went on the market for £2.5million [about $3.9 million], has three storeys, 16 bathrooms and a heated outdoor swimming pool set in 260 acres of beautiful countryside.
It is likely to rack up colossal energy bills during the cold Scottish winter if Mr Hendry plans to heat all 14 bedrooms, two kitchens and four reception areas.
