From findthatlocation.com: "The Crown’s Classiebawn location is Ackergill Tower Castle in Wick, Caithness. Lord Mountbatten (Charles Dance) is seen departing from Classiebawn Castle in County Sligo and setting out on the sailing trip which would end in tragedy. Keiss Harbour is the harbour location, also in Wick. Both are remote, perched in the north of Scotland near John O’Groats and a four hour drive away from Inverness."

It's also been rented for posh car launches - I think Jaguar, Bentley, Porsche and others (RR?? Volvo/Polestar??) have used it - there are some great roads nearby for going fast and taking zoomy pictures/clips for magazines and TV progs.
