We have a spite castle not too far from here. It got built in 1907 as part of a divorce settlement for a second wife, she chose a plot of land as close to her ex's land as possible, where they would see the building when they passed on the train, and the clock tower only has three clock faces on it, the side facing her ex's castle is blank because she wouldn't give him the time of day.
(It has now sold, sadly - I'd have loved to take a crack at doing that up.)
What next for the Highland 'haunted Castle of Spite'?
Historic Carbisdale Castle in Sutherland is back on the market for the third time in six years.
