Description
Armadale Castle and Gardens, a historic estate on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, is being sold as a unique opportunity to restore a Grade B-listed castle and its surrounding 40-acre formal gardens. The castle, once the home of the Macdonalds of Sleat, has a rich history dating back to the 17th century, with various extensions and renovations over the years. The gardens, established in the late 17th century, feature a variety of styles, including informal woodland areas and formal beds and borders, with many plant species from around the world thriving in the region's micro-climate. The estate also includes a Grade A-listed stable, a bridge, and a laundry, all of which are Grade-listed by Historic Environment Scotland. The castle, currently in a derelict condition, offers a chance to restore it to its former glory as one of Scotland's most iconic and beautifully situated buildings. The gardens, meanwhile, have potential for further development, including the creation of a kitchen garden or orchard.
