Talk:Skibo Castle

message: The £2 million figure is improbable. I've read that the expansion of Eaton Hall was the most expensive British house project of the 19th century at £600,000. Perhaps it was 2 million dollars, which would have been £400,000. Merchbow 13:59, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I can't see any mention in the linked Ewan McGreggor page of any wedding at Skibo. It states "On 22 July 1995, in a village in France, McGregor married Eve Mavrakis"

thread_title:  Ewan McGreggor? 

message: This article is about a building and its estate, and their history and architecture. While mention of a recent bird poisoning case may be note worthy,  this much devoted to the matter is putting it out of proportion. That's over 250 words in an article barely 900 long. About 30% of the article is spent on the details of this case. Precisely what does that much detail add to the article that a one sentence summary does not? Not to mention the repetition and outdated information due to piece-meal updating. This edit was ridiculous. Referencing is not enough to support the unbalancing of this article.

replies: text: Im adding references for the various parts parts of the article then going to expand the other sections. As that was most recent it was the easiest to add them for first. That it is longer than some other sections at the moment doesnt mean it has to be removed as the others can easily be expanded. It needs some tidying but the sheer amount of coverage regarding it means it should be explained fully.RafikiSykes (talk) 01:41, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Nonsense, the event can be summarised in a sentence and that is all it deserves. A grounds-keeper getting convicted is barely a blip in a site which has a history stretching back to the 12th century. The state of the rest of the article just serves to highlight how trivial this event was. Nev1 (talk) 01:53, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

message: Through the latter half of the 20th Century (and perhaps into the 21st by a wee bit) the student union building at Carnegie-Mellon University was called Skibo, in reference to AC's home in Scotland. It housed the Tartan Grill and Kiltie Cafe. It was "classic" mid-century campus architecture... nothing Scottish about it.... PurpleChez (talk) 13:08, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
