Scottish tourists will soon have the opportunity to spend the night in a mansion designed by famed French fashion designer Coco Chanel, according to The Times.
The 700-acre property, called Rosehall Estate, was the summer home and "love nest" of Chanel and Hugh "Bendor" Grosvenor in the 1920s, Harper's Bazaar reported in 2015. Chanel reportedly hated the interior of the house and redesigned it with colors and wallpapers inspired by those in her chic Paris apartment.
The rustic manor eventually grew on the French fashion designer. The design of Chanel's iconic tweed suits was even inspired by fishing and hunting outfits Grosvenor wore at Rosehall, according to the National Records of Scotland.
The estate has been abandoned for 52 years, but photos of its interior reveal that touches of Chanel's iconic design remain. Keep reading for a look inside the famed manor.
