Home is a castle, or soon will be for Stuart family of Donlea Dr. in East York. Charles Stuart has taken out a 20-year lease on a castle near Inverness, Scotland, built in 1625 by the third Earl of Moray. The rent - $95.50 a year, but Stuart says it will need about $38,000 worth of work to make it habitable. It has a ghost, but a friendly one, Stuart said. He and his wife, Elizabeth, show off a photo of their new home with daugher Lucie, who is 13.
