Bob Dylan has bought a £2.2 million Scottish mansion.The music legend and his brother, David Zimmerman, have purchased Aultmore House, an Edwardian highland hideaway, together.The remote 10-bedroom property is nestled in 25 acres of woodland near the village of Nethy Bridge, Inverness-shire, and surrounded by the stunning Cairngorm mountains. The 65-year-old singer-and-songwriter fell in love with the historical house after spending a week there last spring, when it operated as a five-star hotel.Dylan - real name Robert Allen Zimmerman - and his brother purchased the property last year under the family name of Zimmerman.Knight Frank, the selling agents, yesterday (16.01.07) confirmed the house - which has featured on BBC TV drama 'Monarch of the Glen' - was sold to a "member of Bob Dylan's family".As a keen golfer, another attraction drawing Dylan to the area could be the local golf club.
