Christina Hendricks' Scottish Castle Crush: Mad Men Star Spotted Scouting for Dream Home in Scotland

In a shocking turn of events, beloved actress Christina Hendricks has revealed her secret passion for all things Scottish - including searching for her own castle! The stunning star of AMC's hit series Mad Men and the critically acclaimed period drama The Buccaneers, has spent countless hours filming on location in Scotland, and it seems that love affair with the country has only just begun.

During an explosive appearance on The One Show, Hendricks opened up about her undying love for Scotland, gushing over its breathtaking landscapes, dramatic skies, and rich history. "I am so in love with Scotland," she confessed. "I don't know - I have had such extraordinary luck or I've somehow got rose-colored glasses on because every time I'm there it's just to me so stunning."

The US star has become familiar with some of the country's stately homes, including Culzean Castle, which features as the setting for scenes in her new show The Buccaneers

But it seems that Hendricks' affection for the country goes beyond mere tourism. When pressed by host Alex Jones about her search for a Scottish home, the 50-year-old actress revealed her true intentions - to find herself a piece of history to call her own.

"I'm all about the historical stuff," she confessed. "I mean when we shoot at these estates and these castles, I am just... I'm a girl from Idaho in the United States, we don't have stuff like that. We got fields with cows and stuff, but this is mind-blowing to me."

And it seems that Hendricks isn't just talking the talk - she's already taking steps to make her Scottish castle dream a reality. When Jones joked about creating a reality TV show to help her find the perfect abode, Hendricks was quick to jump on board. "Sign me up!" she exclaimed.

But what makes this news even juicier is that Hendricks has already got insider knowledge from none other than her close friend and fellow Scots enthusiast, Garbage frontwoman Shirley Manson. The Edinburgh native, who also happens to be a certified celebrant, married Hendricks and husband George Bianchini in New Orleans last year - and it's clear that the two have a deep affection for all things Scottish.

As fans of The Buccaneers know, the show is set against the stunning backdrop of Scotland's most iconic estates and castles. From Culzean Castle in Ayrshire to Hopetoun House, near South Queensferry, and Drumlanrig Castle in Dumfriesshire - each episode takes viewers on a visual journey through some of Scotland's most breathtaking landscapes.

And it seems that Hendricks has been making the most of her time in Scotland, visiting all manner of tourist attractions and local favourites. She's even made two separate trips to Balmoral Castle, in Aberdeenshire estate, as well as enjoying days out in Edinburgh to Portobello beach and the Johnnie Walker Princes Street whisky centre.
