Haunted Scotland | Haunted Houses and Castles
Supposingly haunted by a young woman by the name of Helen Gunn. She flung herself, or fell, from the highest tower to escape her abductor's advances. The property was run as a hotel for over 30 years before being bought by an American and turned into a private residence. You can get see Ackergill Tower by walking along the shoreline at Reiss beach, a short drive from Wick.
Formally Barrogill Castle, the Castle of Mey was purchased by the Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother in 1952 and renovated. It was used by many years by the Queen Mother as a holiday home, one she greatly loved. It is now held in trust for Prince Charles who still visits once a year. The castle is said to be haunted by a "Green Lady", supposed to be the daughter of the 5th Earl of Caithness, who fell from the tower room looking for her lover. She may have died of a broken heart.
