A Wee Guide to the Haunted Castles of Scotland

A Wee Guide to the Haunted Castles of Scotland gathers reported hauntings and ghostly traditions associated with Scotland’s castles. Martin Coventry’s compact guide focuses on the stories attached to historic strongholds, from apparitions and lingering presences to legends shaped by violent events, old families and local memory.

Published as part of the Wee Guide series, the book offers a concise reference to castle lore rather than a general history of Scottish architecture. Its subject is the folklore surrounding particular sites: accounts repeated over generations, traditions connected with ruined or occupied castles, and tales that have become part of their identity. The result is a focused introduction to Scotland’s haunted castle stories, suitable for browsing alongside wider guides to the country’s historic buildings.
