The UK's most expensive bed made from alpaca wool has been put on sale in Scotland - for £75,000.

The Diamond Majesty bed from luxury brand Vispring was put on display at the Gillies, home shop in Broughty Ferry near Dundee after it arrived last week.

Part of the reason the bed, which is being monitored by CCTV, is so pricey is because of the mattress which costs £40,000.

Shoppers have been left shocked by the hefty price tag, but staff at the shop believe it is a great investment as the mattress is made from Vicuna wool.

The wool comes from a type of alpaca that lives in the South American mountain - and is considered one of the rarest, finest fibres in the world.

Ewan Philp, marketing director for Gillies, said: "Customers have tested it out and they seem to like it.

"You can order it in different tensions, it just depends on your weight.

"We want people to test it, so that's why it's there to try out.

"Customers are allowed a glass of champagne when they are trying out the bed.

"It's stunning, the temptation is there to just lie on it.

"It probably is one of the most expensive beds in the UK but Vispring specialises in quality beds.

"The bed is currently on tour just now and it will leave us this Sunday but it is still available to order."
