It may not be as grand as King's Landing or as imposing as The Eyrie, but Aberdeenshire's Lickleyhead Castle has many charms of its own.

Rose Leslie, who played Jon Snow's flame-haired Wildling love interest Ygritte in Game of Thrones, spent her childhood at home in the towers of a sprawling Scottish castle.

Now her mum, Candy Leslie, has listed the family home on rental site Airbnb from £600 a night.

Although not quite as old as the Stark's Winterfell fortress, the unusual rental was built in the 16th Century and is the ancestral home of Clan Leslie.

Each of the seven bedrooms has its own bathroom, some tucked away in turrets. The home has can be rented from £600 a night - with no threat of spotting any White Walkers from the tower.

Set in pretty parkland, the secluded castle can accommodate up to 14 people, making it the perfect location for Game of Thrones super fans to meet up to discuss the latest show conspiracies as series seven gets under way.

Decked out with traditional decor, the four-poster beds will make you feel like the King - or Queen - of the North. But there's no need to send ravens to keep in the loop as the castle comes with wifi and a full Sky TV package.

Once you've finished exploring the grounds, settle down in front of the original medieval open fireplace in the Great Hall or enjoy the cosy kitchen complete with an Aga.

Alternatively, if the sun is shining, guests can enjoy the barbecue area outside alongside a picturesque stream.

Lickleyhead Castle can be rented for a minimum of two nights via Airbnb.
