Edzell Castle in Angus is one of many historic sites across the country reputed to host supernatural spirits.
With its bloody history, it's hardly surprising that Scotland is reputedly the home of hundreds of supernatural spirits.
Here are 15 of the country's most haunted sites.
Skaill House is built in the periphery of neolithic settlement Skara Brae. The property is thought to be built on an ancient burial ground with visitors reporting sightings of ghostly figures in Skaill House itself.
This coastal fortress is as haunted as it is iconic. Situated near Stonehaven, the 14th century castle is thought to be home to a family of ghosts, including a Nordic looking man who is said to pace around the guard room.
Eilean Donan is steeped with history and reportedly inhabited with spirits. Spanish soldiers were housed at the castle during the Jacobite rebellion and one Spaniard is said to haunt the castle's gift shop.
For two centuries, visitors to St Andrews Cathedral have reported the sighting of a lady wearing white gloves and gliding through the castle's grounds.
Dunrobin Castle is straight out of a fairytale, but in recent years Dunrobin has played host to an ongoing ghost story. The castle is said to be haunted by the ghost of a kidnapped bride who fell to her death from one of the castle's windows.
Inveraray's setting above Loch Fyne is idyllic, but the Argyll castle is reputedly the haunting of several ghosts. A young Irish harpist murdered in the 17th century reportedly stalks guests in the MacArthur room.
