A Spooky History
Most countries have a spooky story to tell and Scotland is no exception. With so much history, the stories are enough to fill several books—and websites, like this one:
Many historical sites in Scotland are believed to be haunted, such as:
Edinburgh Castle is one of the most haunted places in Scotland. Connected to the old downtown by a network of underground tunnels, visitors can hear the faint sounds of a piper playing music ever since the day he disappeared in those tunnels.
Hill House, in Helensburgh, is haunted by a tall slender figure dressed in black with a long black cape. It is believed to be Walter Blackie, the man who commissioned the building of his dream home in 1904.
Leith Hall is home to the ghost of Laird John Leith III. In 1968, one guest awoke during the night to see him standing at the foot of the bed in Highland dress, his head covered in bloody bandages.
Mary King’s Close is where victims of the plague were trapped by local councilmen in an attempt to stop the spread of illness. They now roam the Scottish close (an underground alleyway) beneath the Old Town area of Edinburgh.
