A prospect of Sutherland - Gilbert Torrance Bell

Built by Mary Caroline Blair, second wife of the third Duke of Sutherland, Carbisdale was the last castle to be built in Scotland. It was the site both of Montrose's last battle and of the headquarters of the Norwegian resistance during World War II. Carbisdale also conceals the scandal of the House of Sutherland. This book examines the mystery surrounding the life and death of the third Duke of Sutherland, an unwelcome marriage, a family feud over the will of a wayward son and the alienation of Mary Caroline Blair, banished to build her castle without her dead husband's estate.
