Which Scottish house did J.K. Rowling buy while writing the Harry Potter series?

J.K. Rowling bought Killiechassie House in Scotland while writing the Harry Potter series.

Killiechassie House is a historic estate near Aberfeldy in Perthshire. Rowling purchased the property in 2001, during the period when the Harry Potter books were becoming an international publishing phenomenon. The estate includes a 17th-century house and a historic bridge associated with the property.

The location is also linked to Rowling’s personal history because she married Neil Murray there in December 2001. It is not Hogwarts, nor is it the model for one uniquely identified fictional castle. Readers sometimes confuse it with Balmoral or other famous Scottish residences because Rowling’s books and public image are strongly associated with Scotland.
