Tour Scotland Video River South Esk And Cortachy Castle Angus
Tour Scotland video of the River South Esk and Cortachy Castle, Angus, Scotland. The present building dates from the 15th century, preceded by an earlier structure that was owned by the Earls of Strathearn. It was acquired by the Ogilvies in 1473 and substantively modified in the 17th and 19th centuries. In 1820 it was " romanticised ", as was the fashion of the day, by the addition of crenellations, plus other alterations by R & R Dickson. Part of the building was damaged by fire in 1883 and it was extensively rebuilt in the following two years by Kinnear & Peddie.

Haunted Castles and Houses of Scotland. This book covers many ghost stories in all their manifestations: Green, White, Grey, Pink, Black, Brown and Blue Ladies; portents of death; gruagach and brownies; evil lairds who dabbled in witchcraft; massacres and bloodstains; dog, monkeys and even maybe a lion; sad stories of children; and insubstantial phantoms, including a ghostly cannonball. There is a separate section on Mary, Queen of Scots, and stories about William Wallace, Bonnie Prince Charlie and Walter Scott. The book is arranged thematically, comparing and contrasting the many accounts, and where possible describing who the ghost was in life, what dark deed caused their death, and how the ghost manifests itself. Many of Scotland's most famous and impressive strongholds have stories, such as Edinburgh, Stirling, Holyroodhouse, Dunnottar, Crathes, Culzean, Dunrobin, Thirlestane, Drumlanrig, Fyvie, St Andrews. There are stories from all over Scotland - from Shetland to Galloway, from the Western Isles to Eyemouth, covering more than 300 strongholds, historic houses and mansions. The book also has many illustrations. Dozens of these sites are open to the public as visitor attractions or hotels. A handy section lists which can be visited or stayed at, and there is visitor information, including websites and phone numbers. A map, with grid references, locates all the sites. Martin Coventry was born in Edinburgh, and is a writer and publisher. He is author of many books on Scotland, and first published The Castles of Scotland, now going into a fourth edition, in 1995. He has been researching Scottish castles and the many related ghost stories for more than fifteen years. Haunted Castles and Houses of Scotland

May Photograph Haunted Cortachy Castle Scotland
May photograph of haunted Cortachy Castle, Angus, Scotland. Cortachy Castle is said to be haunted by a drummer who beats out his summons whenever a member of the Ogilvy family nears death. The drummer met his death by being flung from a window in the castle tower, a punishment, some say, for philandering with the Earl's wife. Others claim he intrigued with an attacking enemy and allowed them to approach without beating out his warning to the inmates of the castle.
