United Kingdom Carbisdale Castle
Carbisdale Castle is located in the Scottish Highlands, near the village of Culrain in Sutherland.
The castle was built between 1907 and 1917 for Mary Caroline, Duchess of Sutherland, after a long-running dispute with the Sutherland family.
During World War II, the castle became a refuge for King Haakon VII of Norway and Crown Prince Olav after the German invasion of Norway in 1940. Carbisdale Castle is sometimes called the “Castle of Spite” because of the circumstances surrounding its construction and its prominent position overlooking lands belonging to the Duke of Sutherland.
