She said: "I was drawn to the castle's splendour, as well as its impressive historical background, and I felt a sense of kinship with its original occupant the Duchess of Sutherland, whose story I find fascinating. Carbisdale became known as the Castle of Spite because of its original resident's bitter dispute with her husband's family.The duchess, the widow of an army officer who had been killed in a hunting accident, was not well-liked by the duke's family.
The dispute was eventually settled, with the Duke of Sutherland's family agreeing to build the duchess a new home - provided it was outside the boundaries of the duke's Sutherland Estate.Its clock tower only has three faces, with the side facing Sutherland Estate blank because it was said the duchess did not want to give her former in-laws the time of day.
