By JAM! Music
Madonna is set to take on Paul McCartney in a real-estate war.
The New York Post said Madonna and her movie-director husband Guy Ritchie ("Snatch") have had their eyes on Scotland's Amhuinnsuidhe Castle ever since their December 2000 Highlands wedding at Skibo Castle.
The castle, which is located on the Isle of Harris, has also attracted the attention of McCartney, who wants to buy the property as a getaway for himself and wife-to-be Heather Mills.
The Post said fellow rocker Sting and Harrods tycoon Mohammed al-Fayed are also interested in the property, while local residents on Harris are hoping to take over the property in a community buyout.
The castle, which includes 50,000 acres, is valued at $7 million. It is currently owned by cider millionaire Jonathan Bulmer, who has described it as "the loveliest place on earth," the report said.
Should Madonna take the castle, she can add it to a British real-estate portfolio that already includes a $9 million London townhouse and a $12 million mansion in Wiltshire, The Post said.
