The Hauntings of Glamis Castle, Scotland

The most famous haunted castle of Spooky Scotland is propably Glamis Castle. Since 1372, the castle has been the family home of the Earls of Strathmore. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother was the youngest daughter of the 14th Earl, and princess Margaret was born there (1930).

The castle has a gruesome history: in the 11the century, king Malcolm III was murdered here... and so was king Duncan in Shakespeare's cursed play Macbeth. In the 16th century, the widow of a Lord of Glamis, lady Janet Douglas, was burned at the stake as a witch, because she attempted to kill King James V. Count Beardie is playing cards with Satan in a locked room, where once some unknown but terrible secret was hidden. This could have something to do with the monstrous creature that was born around 1816 in Glamis and lived there for more than a hundred years...

The Creature is also still haunting Glamis, but don't let him spoil your meal in the Victorian Kitchen Restaurant, that recently received a Silver Award from Eat Scotland!
