The question is, which would you buy?
Carbisdale Castle, Culrain, £1.5m, Stutt & Parker
Formerly the seat of the Duchess of Sutherland, Carbisdale Castle, built 1905-1917, is widely considered to be the last castle erected in Scotland. The property, which was constructed as the result of a bitter family feud, is back on the market for the second time in five years after the current owners plans to restore the house to its former glory were thwarted.

Grade I-listed Chilham Castle, in Chilham, Kent, graces the market for the first time in 20 years.
One of southern England’s most beautiful country estates, comprising the Grade I-listed, 17th-century Chilham Castle, its medieval keep and its surrounding 300-acre demesne at Chilham, six miles from Canterbury and nine miles from Ashford, has come to the market with a guide price of ‘excess £15 million’ through Knight Frank.
The sale follows the death last July of its high-profile owner, Stuart Wheeler, who bought the castle and estate in a dilapidated state in 2002 and restored the house and gardens at vast expense. ‘In all my years at Knight Frank, this is as good a house as I’ve seen,’ enthuses Will Matthews of Knight Frank, who is handling the sale.
