    Scottish Ghost?

    I found this article online, and was curious if any of our Scotland members have been to this castle where this article and picture was taken?

    http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...cle1216051.ece

    It's a pretty neat picture. Whether you believe in stuff like this or not is up to you, and this thread will not be a place to try and "convince" others that what you believe is right and they are wrong. They are your beliefs.

    Enjoy!

    FYI this is a tabloid newspaper and not some big name news chain as far as I know. I don't really trust these papers, but they do turn up fun articles from now and then.

    In 2003, I visited many castles in the Highlands and Lowlands of Scotland. I was only at Tulloch in spirit.

    Does the piper play for the people or is it just a vision?
    If you see abbreviations, initials or acronyms you do not know the Xmarks FAQ section on abbreviations may help.

    That story is actually associated with Duntroon Castle, Daz.

    I saw a doc in which the owners, the Malcolm family, had some flooring stones pulled up at Duntrune and found a skeleton without hands. Coincidentally, when I was in Scotland in 2003, after visiting a burial cist, I stumbled across a vacated mansion at Poltalloch near Kilmartin. The place was without a roof, except for the garage that still had cars parked inside. Talk about eerie!! It was abandoned by the same Malcolm family because of property taxes. Excessive taxes - now that's scary.

    Is there any castle in Scotland which doesn't claim to have a ghost?

    Aye, Duntrune Castle it is. Chief Robin Malcolm has told us that it is rather a friendly ghost. He doesn't bother them and they keep out of his way.

    Here is a link to photos of Poltalloch House courtsey of Redshanks. Sad to hear about the cars.

    One of the Rabble 'that Celtic band' has written and recorded a song on the Duntrune Ghost



    With Chief Robin Malcolm at Duntrune Castle.
