The Gem of Sutherland
Carbisdale Castle – A gem in the landscape of Sutherland in the Scottish Highlands, and the last castle to be built in the British Isles. When the Duchess of Sutherland lost Dunrobin Castle to her stepson, the fourth Duke of Sutherland, she
built Carbisdale Castle to spite him. She chose a unique, commanding position on top of a rock overlooking a vast surrounding panorama, situated amidst a beautiful
forest, stretching two thousand acres, with its own breath-taking loch, embraced within the majestic Kyle of Sutherland.
