Actor Gerard Butler has reportedly splashed out 582,000 pounds on a bachelor pad in Scotland.

The luxurious three-bedroom property is located near Giffnock in south Glasgow, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

The 45-year-old, who was born in the nearby town of Paisley, bought the apartment which features a drawing room and a private balcony after previously confessing he missed living in the country.

`I miss the people and the countryside. Scotland is such a beautiful country and I know that whenever I return and look at that it's like big therapy for me, everything relaxes, and I'm inspired and relaxed all at once,` he said.
