Haunted Castle
If you’re like me and interested in ghosts and all things supernatural, spending a night in the haunted Comlongon Castle in Clarencefield Scotland is an adventure not to be missed. The ghost of Marian Carruthers, who died trying to get out of an arranged marriage in 1564, continues to haunt Comlongon Castle located in southern Scotland. It’s not known whether she died of murder of suicide but locals believe that because she was never given a proper funeral, her ghost wanders the many passageways, chambers and spiral staircases inside the castle. The 14th century castle has been renovated and today is run as a three-star hotel by the Ptolomey family and has become a popular wedding and honeymoon spot. Before dinner every evening guests get taken on a ghost-hunting tour through the Great Hall, the vaulted basement and past the chamber that used to house the dungeon guards. The 12 suites are comfortable and equipped with all the modern conveniences required for an enjoyable stay. I had such an amazing time at Comlongon Castle that I’m looking for other haunted hotels that I can visit and will defiantly come back here for another visit soon, maybe next time I’ll be fortunate enough to get a glimpse of Marian Carruthers’ ghost.
