Skibo Castle : ウィキペディア英語版 | Skibo Castle
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 the castle dates back to the 12th century, the present structure is largely of the 19th century, and early 20th century, when it was the home of industrialist Andrew Carnegie. It is now operated as the Carnegie Club, a members-only hotel and country club. ==Etymology== According to William J. Watson, Skibo is the anglicisation of Scottish Gaelic ''Sgìobal'', which in turn comes from an Old Norse name meaning either firewood-steading or Skithi's steading.〔See Watson, William J.: "Scottish Place-name Papers", Steve Savage (publisher) 2002, pp40, 68, 234〕
