Extract from New Statistical Account
"The castle of SKibo, once a residence of the Bishops of Caithness and Sunderland, was
demolished in the last century. Within its walls the celebrated Marquis of Montrose was
confined subsequent to his being taken in Assynt; and from SKibo he was conveyed
to Edinburgh, where he was executed."
From this it appears that the present castle is of modern erection.
