Carbisdale Castle is currently managed by a community non-profit organization, the Carbisdale Castle and Forest Preservation Board CIC. The Castle will be operated for the benefit of the CIC and the wider community. As part of its mission, a portion of the Castle will be opened to host corporate conferences, vacation time-share programs for businesses, exclusive Highland retreats, and local community events. This multi-purpose use will help generate sustainable income while preserving the cultural and historical significance of the site, ensuring it remains a valuable asset for future generations.
Currently, Carbisdale Castle and the surrounding ancient woodland of Carbisdale Forest are at risk, and your support for their preservation is paramount. With community-driven stewardship and strategic use, we aim to protect and revitalize this iconic Highland landmark for all to enjoy.
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.
