Repository code GB 234from the history of Skipness castle in CCSNA site - The castle remained in the hands of the Campbells of Skipness until 1867 when, despite owning an estate of about 15.000 acres, the family were so distressed for funds that they had to sell. They had been so poor for a number of years that they were obliged to go for long visits to their friends the Campbells of Auchindarroch who succoured them along with Campbell of Barcaldine who was then in a similarly penniless state, having nothing to eat but ‘what he could bring down with his gun’.
