Scottish Ghosts
Amberley Publishing, 2009 31 photographs, 5 maps, 128pp. ISBN 978 1 84868 722 6 £12.99
Scotland is a haunted nation with hundreds of ghosts frequenting buildings old and new. This best-selling guide has information on over 250 haunted places, each told in fascinating and spooky detail. There are numerous ancient haunted castles, but there are also tales of strange spirits appearing in modern buildings too. Country houses have unearthly manifestations, and spectres have been witnessed on battlefields, inns, barracks, aerodromes and on beaches. The ghosts that have appeared over the years have varied from Tahitian princesses and Scottish monarchs, to sailors, singers, dogs and even a spectral monkey. Also, Scotland seems to have more sightings of ‘Green Ladies’ than anywhere else in the world. Often the story behind the ghost tells of secret or forbidden love, feuds or suspicious death. Some strange sightings and unexplained happenings include earthly objects moving of their own accord, from poltergeists to spooky vehicles, bouncing cannonballs and Viking longboats. All the old favourite ghost stories and haunted locations are here, as well as many accounts of newer hauntings. An irresistible book!
