The average house price across Britain has passed the £300,000 mark for the first time, according to property website Rightmove.

Using their website we take a look at the market to find out exactly what that money can buy in Scotland.

Once the railway station for the village of Beauly, Inverness-shire, it offers space for three bedrooms and a large commercial office space which you can convert unless you would rather keep it as authentic as possible.

The Rightmove listing says: "Sympathetically renovated while retaining many of the original features and characteristics, this property offers any prospective buyer the opportunity to purchase a substantial period property that would lend itself to any number of residential or commercial uses."

While the exterior of the small-looking property might appear quite bland, the coastal views will more than make up for it in what is a relatively expensive area to live.

Other nearby properties in the old fishing village have sold in the region of £175,000 to £250,000 recently and Rightmove say this has potential to be converted into a bed and breakfast.

Everyone has wanted to be the king or queen of a castle in their time and for £300,000 you can do just that in Roxburghshire with this ten acre site just a 90-minute drive from Edinburgh.

According to Rightmove, plans are afoot to restore "the castle to a single dwelling family home". The listing adds: "In its day, the castle was a grand 64 room family residence sitting in grounds in excess of 100,000 acres. The plans are to create a family home to a very high specification, with space, design and amenities to meet today's living requirements.

"No formal application has been submitted, but the local planning department have indicated they would look favourably on the restoration of the castle and would consider the existing or new design plans."

An idyllic cul-de-sac with lots of garden space and a view of Ben Lora on your doorstep is not a lot to ask for, is it? Not if you fancy parting with £300,000.

A lot of work has been put into this bungalow ahead of it going on the market with the Rightmove listing stating: "Dunmor has recently been extended, upgraded and modernized by the current owners and now offers versatile family accommodation, benefiting from full double glazing and an effective oil fired central heating system and with notable features including the modern fitted Kitchen with linked Dining Area, light and airy Lounge with bay window and patio doors, spacious Master Bedroom with En-Suite Shower Room, contemporary Bathroom and very well fitted Utility Room."

A schoolmaster's house and his school may be a thing of the past but you can own just that in this recently modernised property in Dunscore.

As well as the mod cons and great views, the description of the property on Rightmove says: "The quality that sets Glenesslin Schoolhouse apart from other beautiful rural cottages is the hugely versatile schoolroom. The soaring end windows have been sympathetically double glazed, with original sash windows on the other wall, and a multi-fuel stove nestles in one wall.

"There is huge potential to use this space for a variety of purposes including a small art gallery, artist's studio, craft workshop/showroom, small tearoom, or indeed a fabulous family living area or space for entertaining."

Yes, it's a lighthouse. According to Rightmove it is the "principal lightkeeper's house and two assistant lightkeeper's cottages" which will set you back £300,000 in one of Orkney's most southern isles.

Unfortunately the lighthouse is not included unless you plan on making a separate bid. The property listing states: "Interested parties should note that the Northern Lighthouse Board have retained ownership of the lighthouse and the building to the side of the lighthouse together with access to both and including the use of a helicopter pad.
