	Transfiguration Tour - Europe, Summer 2001
		Situated atop a small hill, Carbisdale Castle is a late 19th-century castle built for the Duchess of Sutherland, simply to piss off her husband's relatives (gotta love those Scotts).
		Eventually, after WWII, the castle was entrusted to the YHA as a hostel, and a great hostel it is. On top of having the cool distinction of being a real castle (history, medieval and fantasy buffs, this is the place for you), it is also haunted as any good castle should be.
		They would later confirm that the castle was indeed creepy, especially the lounge room (where curtains moved without any air flowing in the room) and a particular hallway draped in shadow in which stood a small statue of a cherub.

		The castle was built by the Dowager Duchess of Sutherland between 1906 and 1917.
		When the affair was finally settled, the Duchess used her £0.5 million inheritance to build Carbisdale only just outside the new Duke's Sutherland estate in the old county of Ross and Cromarty.
		Although probably the newest of Scotland's castles, it is deliberately styled to give the credibility of an older square tower with the impression of a variety of extensions built over the years in contrasting styles and using different stonework.
