The Mishnish estate was purchased in 1856 by James Forsyth
of Quinish. He cleared the existing township of Sorne to make way for the
new house, which was completed in 1860. The house was designed by Kinnear and
Peddie in a Scots Baronial style. It is now operated as a guest house and
wedding venue, with a cafe and shop in the former stables. The castle is
located on a headland and overlooks the Atlantic Ocean. On a clear day the
Outer Hebrides and Islands of Uist, Rùm and Canna can be viewed from the
castle.
