Skibo Castle (Scottish Gaelic: Caisteal Sgìobail) is located to the west of Dornoch 
in the Highland county of Sutherland, Scotland overlooking the Dornoch Firth . Although largely of the 19th century and early 20th century, when it was the home of industrialist Andrew Carnegie, its origins go back much earlier. Andrew Chirnside was a previous owner.
It is now operated as The Carnegie Club, a members-only residential club, offering members and their guests accommodation in both the castle and estate lodges, a private links golf course and a range of activities including clay pigeon shooting, tennis and horse riding.
