James Brown's story starts at the age of 5 when he first visited a Castle... since that day he's ventured to own one himself. James is seeking £80,000 in exchange for an 8% equity stake in 'Baltersan Castle' - he plans to sell timeshares to people keen holidaying in the highlands but do the Dragons see James as a drinking buddy more than a business partner?
An international sensation, Dragon's Den features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Den from our Dragons, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.

It's frankly a sad story - the man grew up poor, saved up, took some debt, invested 125.000 pounds to get a futile project off the ground. He would have been better advised to buy small AirbnB/rental properties over the decades since this is part down his alley and would have been easily financially feasible if he started in the 1980s. If he managed to scale that, then he could have built himself that caste with the proceeds of his successful business and would be living happy as a clam in his own castle by the time he came out on the Dragon's Den. It's frankly a sad story of a lost life dream - possibly also a story of how he wiped out his meager life equity as well.

true and the problem is that you don't become wealthy investing based on emotions so I can understand nobody invested because it's clearly a bad investment even if he manages to build a dream castle. You can buy dream castles for like a million dollars in France with huge propreties but because the maintenance costs are also about a million per year nobody wants them, it's only liability.

@@IamGragon666 I think dumb is a bit harsh, he is a dreamer with fantasies abound and no one in his life daring to tell him he is being foolish. Rather than having life lessons being a reality check he dives head first into the imaginary and tries to see it to the end. He is a romantic at heart, a poet...but not a scholar nor a realist...there is something to be admired about that.

This show went out in 2005. The castle went up for sale in 2017 unrestored for £150,000 and the owner was the same man - James Brown. In 2019 he was still the owner, pitching the castle as a future music school plus holiday location. You can see from his record that he is sincere and tenacious, but you can also see that big money investors (and buyers) don't have confidence in his project. I have bought at auction a much smaller, neglected house and every job takes longer than I expected. I live in the house - I'm here now - so I don't mind the time I invest but I wouldn't touch that castle. It's very much a castle in the air!

As of September 2020, the castle is for sale, and in need of restoration Baltersan Castle, near Maybole in Ayrshire, was built in 1575 with the semi-ruined property “ripe for restoration,” according to owner James Brown. Mr Brown, a marketing manager from Ayr, bought the castle in 1992 but his hopes to turn Baltersan into a private residence club, with five bedchambers and a grand banqueting hall, never materialised.

I don't think I have ever wanted someone who appeared on Dragon's Den to succeed more than James. His dream was his life, and it's so sad that he was never able to make it happen. I hope he can look back on his days happy that he at least tried.

That's the nicest I've seen the dragons been to someone whose idea is largely impossible. There's been a few people on Grand designs who have tried similiar things, they do (mostly) get the things rebuilt, but they don't make money on them. They always cost more than is planned.

Even if this castle is never restored he can still make money, there's a lot of historic interest and he could do research into the site and charge a small fee for tourists plus licensing on photos and drawings of how it looked etc. And if it does restore it gradually, that could be turned into a TV series would be quite interesting to watch.

I love castles, too, and will always fondly remember visiting some in Edinburgh, Quebec, the Italian countryside, etc. If I was loaded, my husband and I would have a mini replica built on one of the better streets in our city. And it would absolutely be my 'baby'. I would never walk away from it, not without major qualms and only if I HAD to sell it. So I don't believe him. And he's drastically underestimating costs of repairs, wiring, plumbing, furnishing, post-winter maintenance, etc. I felt bad for him, and cringed quietly.

@@loveiscontrol6123 ​ - No, he said he spent 120k on architectural plans for how he wanted the restoration. That's not investing it into the castle, the castle is still untouched, so it's maybe worth a little more than he paid for it but not 125k more, he is dreaming.
