Kane, who goes by Lady Carbisdale, fears the Labour Party’s election pitch for a Great British Energy investment vehicle to force through a renewable agenda and decarbonisation programme by 2030 could ruin that planWHEN barrister Samantha Kane bought Carbisdale Castle in the Scottish Highlands for more than £1 million nearly two years ago her aim was to turn a rundown, listed heritage site into a top tourism destination of which she, the country and local people could be proud.

The castle, built in 1907 on a hill close to the village of Ardgay and some 30 miles from Inverness for the then Duchess of Sutherland, has a storied history and included a clock tower with one side blank as the Duchess reportedly didn’t want to give her nearby former in-laws “the time of day”, hence an unofficial title the “Castle of Spite”.

She is also a steadfast opponent of the velocity of Scottish net-zero change as she said after attending an energy summit in Strathpeffer in the Highlands at the end of last month. After the event, Mountain said: “There’s much in the North Sea where we can actually take fossil fuels out which we’re going to need for a few years yet. We also have great companies developing wind farms across Scotland – why are we not supporting them? Why do we need a nationalised company to do it for us?”

He described the southward-bound resources of Highland wind farm energy while minimising risks and working to benefit northern communities. It was tough to explain amid some heckling. He personally thought the Highland energy project would not impact on tourism.
