Old Photographs Delgatie Castle Scotland
Old photograph of Delgatie Castle near Turriff, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. A castle has stood on this site since the year 1030 AD, although the earliest parts of the castle standing today were built between 1570 and 1579. Additional wings and a chapel were added in 1743. The castle was stripped from the disgraced Henry de Beaumont, Earl of Buchan after the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314 and given to Clan Hay, later to become the Earls of Erroll. Mary, Queen of Scots, was a guest at the castle in 1562 after the Battle of Corrichie. Like many castles, Delgatie is rumoured to be haunted. A number of reports of a ghostly red-haired figure, supposedly one Alexander Hay, were made by soldiers posted there during the Second World War.
