Skibo, famed for Madonna's wedding, has plenty to boast about. Set amid 7,500 acres of forested estate and well hidden from public view near the small town of Dormoch, it deserves its reputation as one of the most exclusive hotels in the world, but, is also one of the most welcoming. If you do visit, stay the whole weekend, as for non-Club members, the rules state that you may only ever visit once. For more information visit our guide to the Scottish Highlands.
FACILITIES
Skibo wins the most points in terms of facilities. It is the only castle of the ten with a swimming pool and spa. The pool is magnificent, built entirely of marble and housed in an elongated conservatory. There's also an 18-hole links golf course, salmon and trout fishing, hunting, falconry, clay-pigeon shooting, tennis, badminton, walking, rowing, canoeing, bird-watching, horse riding, off-road driving, snooker, archery, croquet, target shooting and mountain biking.
