Skibo Castle, Category A listed castle in Dornoch, Scotland
The castle spans over 60,000 square feet across the Highland landscape, featuring Scottish Baronial architecture with Edwardian interior designs throughout its halls.
First mentioned in a 1211 charter, the castle served as residence for the Bishops of Caithness until 1545 when it transferred to the Gray family.
The Carnegie Club maintains the castle's traditions through activities like clay pigeon shooting, horseback riding, and golf within the 6,000-acre estate.
Access to Skibo Castle requires membership in the Carnegie Club, which limits participation to 250 members who gain entry to all facilities.
Lake Louise within the estate grounds stands as one of Scotland's rare water bodies designated as a lake rather than a loch.
