We have a number of ghosts. The most famous is the “blue boy”, who as midnight rang out would cry and moan in agony (or maybe fear). The noises could be traced to a spot near a passage cut through a ten foot wall.

When the bloodcurdling wails die away a soft halo of light appears around an old four poster bed. Anyone sleeping there, even today, can see the figure of a young boy dressed in blue, and surrounded by light. Behind the wall the bones of a young boy and fragments of blue clothing were discovered.

Another ghost, Lady Mary Berkeley, searches for her husband, who ran off with her sister. Lady Mary, desolate and broken hearted lived in the castle by herself with only her baby girl as a companion. The rustle of her dress can be heard as she passes you by in the turret stairs.

But there are more….come and visit if you dare!

Castle Stuart Ghost Story

Are you brave enough to hear about the Three-Turret Haunted Bedroom at the top of the East Tower?

It is the room where, a long time ago, when the Earl of Moray was looking for someone to spend the night at Castle Stuart to prove to everyone that is was not haunted, he asked the minister at Petty Church to offer a £20 reward.

The local poacher, known as Big Angus, was neither afraid of man nor beast and he’s recorded to have spent the night in this room.

The next morning, unfortunately they found his body in the courtyard, dead, with a look of horror frozen on his face.

The mystery remains - did he jump or was he pushed?
Too much whisky?
Are you brave enough to stay and find out?
