Carbisdale Caste on the market for fourth time in eight years

Carbisdale Castle was built for Mary Caroline, the Duchess of Sutherland.

At the time she was embroiled in bitter a feud with her in-laws – which led to it being dubbed the “Castle of Spite”.

The duchess selected a hillside plot close to – and visible from – her in-laws’ Sutherland Estate.

Carbisdale’s clock tower was built with only three faces, with the side facing the estate blank because the duchess did not want to give her former in-laws the time of day.

Over the years, it has been a war-time sanctuary for members of the Norwegian royal family and a youth hostel.

For 60 years from 1945 the castle was a youth hostel.

The property is said to be haunted by a ghost called Betty.
