Tour Haunted Ashintully Castle Scotland

Tour Haunted Ashintully Castle on a visit near Kirkmichael, north of Blairgowrie, in Strathardle, Perthshire, Scotland. This Scottish castle is thought to be haunted by the ghost of a tinker, hanged for trespassing by one of the Spalding Barons. He cursed the family, warning that the family line would soon come to an end, the prophecy being fulfilled a short time after his death. He is said to haunt the spot near where he was hanged, by an avenue of tall trees. The Spalding family must have had something of a reputation for cruelty, as the other ghost said to haunt the grounds is that of a misshapen servant, murdered by another member of the family. He is known as Crooked Davie on the account of his hunched back.
