Page 6 confirms (as much as they're capable of doing so) that Bob Dylan's deal to acquire some fancy digs in Scotland was sealed over the weekend:
THE times they are a-changin' for counter-culture hero Bob Dylan, who's landed a grand, 15-bedroom Edwardian manor in Scotland. The British press reports Dylan, 65, and his brother, David Zimmerman, just bought a century-old mansion known as Aultmore House that sits adjacent to Cairngorms National Park. The 30-room pad includes a billiards room, cloakroom and servants' quarters, surrounded by broad lawns and fountains. It's not known how much Dylan paid, but it was previously available as a high-end retreat for $6,000-a-night.And as you can see, the news gave writers a chance to incorporate Dylan song titles into their stories about the otherwise unspectacular event. Try this one: Settling down in Scotland? We always figured him to be The Wandering Kind. Okay, pretty terrible. You try.

I went to school with David's kids and his wife was a high school teacher of mine... quite the upgrade from their modest house in Hanover, MN.

Pricey I'm sure it was, but atleast he'll have some shelter from the storm.
I wonder what he's gonna do with his digs on Positively 4th Street
I guess he had to get something after he quit maggie's farm. No free room and board anymore.
i also suppose that Rainy Day Women wasn't the drug song nonsense we always thought it was. rather, it reveals Dylan to be an early proponent of the real estate boom.
That's all I got

btw - this reminds me, in case it hasn't been mentioned, that Bryan Ferry's new album is due on March 5th. It's an album of Bob Dylan cover tunes. Yes, that's what I said.
