What is recorded here

Skibo Castle, Entrance Driveway is a Post Medieval drive in Sutherland, Scotland, built to carry visitors and goods toward the castle. It may have echoed with cart wheels, boot soles and urgent voices during storms or festivals. The castle still stands nearby, but the driveway holds less evidence and more imagination.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Skibo Castle, Entrance Driveway as Drive (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Skibo Castle was built in the 19th century by Sir Robert McAlister, a wealthy Glasgow merchant, and later became the family seat of the Carnegie family after Andrew Carnegie purchased it in 1887. The castle and its entrance driveway are important as part of the historic estate associated with the Carnegie industrial dynasty.
