Here’s where it gets wonderfully weird. In 2026, it was confirmed that Johnny splurged on a 12th-century Scottish castle—because why buy a condo, am I right? It’s on a 58-acre private island called Little Ross, off the coast of Kirkcudbright. Yes, he bought an actual, stone-and-battlements castle on an island.
The place had been a lighthouse keeper’s station and used by smugglers. Fitting, right? He reportedly paid about £2 million for it. That’s less than a one-bedroom apartment in Manhattan, which says a lot about real estate priorities.
But Wait, There’s a Catch… A Very Clingy One
Here’s the punchline: the castle is haunted. Seriously, locals say it’s known for ghostly footsteps and a lady in a gray dress. So Johnny bought a haunted Scottish castle. Either he’s making a movie set into a home, or he really likes the idea of having ghost buddies.
He also bought a separate house in the nearby town of Ayrshire—a more normal-looking mansion with a garden. So he can essentially say, “Darling, I’m off to the haunted castle for the weekend. Fetch my ghost-hunting coat!”
