About this deal

Others were either cut down by rebel swords, impaled by Scottish spears, or else were crushed to death beneath horses hooves and men’s feet. A portrait of Lady Louisa Stewart, sister of the 9th Earl of Traquair, and the last Stewart lady to live there, can be seen inside the house. She died in 1896 a few months short of her 100th birthday. Of the many spirits said to haunt Stirling Castle, the most frequently reported is “The Highland Ghost”. Tech consultant Roy said that the jail is where he ended up with one gent, who was a sceptic, in floods of tears, after he and his wife were left alone in one cell famously said to be haunted by an angry male spirit. The glaistig / ˈ ɡ l æ ʃ t ɪ ɡ/ is a ghost from Scottish mythology, a type of fuath. It is also known as maighdean uaine (Green Maiden), and may appear as a woman of beauty or monstrous mien, as a half-woman and half-goat similar to a faun or satyr, or in the shape of a goat. [1] The lower goat half of her hybrid form is usually disguised by a long, flowing green robe or dress, and the woman often appears grey with long yellow hair. [2] A sighting of the glaistig is rare, but the loud cries and wails would often be heard. [3] Variants [ edit ]

Whether Spynie Palace suffered damage at this time is not known, but Alexander Stewart - known to history as the ‘Wolf of Badenoch’ - was later appointed keeper of the Palace by King Robert 111, following the death of the then Bishop in 1397. The white lady is, apparently, of no fixed abode and can suddenly appear unannounced at sundry locations around the property.

Although now run by the National Trust for Scotland, it still has the feel of a family home, and the ghosts and legends that have collected both around and within its sturdy walls, lend it definite air of haunting mystery.

The dazzling white walls of Traquair House rise majestically from the rolling countryside that surrounds it and to cross its threshold is to find yourself wandering through passages and corridors where time stands still. But where is the best places to go for a scare? Well Ms Hydes highlighted some of her favourites to the Scottish Daily Express. It is said that on his way to Invergarry castle, to present the heads to the chief of Clan MacDonald of Glengarry, Lom stopped at the spring to wash the heads to make them more presentable. Loch Ness lies at the northern end of the Great Glen, a geological fault line that slashes across the Scottish Highland’s. The steely grey mountains that fret the skyline and dapple Glencoe in a cloak of sinister gloom, cast such strange shadows that you find yourself constantly on edge, ever vigilant against whatever unspeakable horrors may be skulking in the darker recesses of the eerie terrain.She said that on one occasion three crew members who entered the cells felt unwell at different points of the night.
