The ghosts of Glamis Castle

It is said that Shakespeare located in Glamis Castle one of his most famous scenes for the work of "Macbeth" .This is the murder of King Duncan, although specialists in history point out that this fact is not quite true, since this event happened in the eleventh century, and the castle of Glamis rose in the fourteenth century.However, this is not what they come b using all the tourists and curious people who approach this incomparable scenario.

Currently, the castle is owned by the Bowes-Lyon family, who received it as a gift from Robert the Bruce in 1372, for the services offered to his throne.It was here where Princess Margarita was born in 1930, and here where Maria, Queen of Scotland, found her personal refuge there by the year 1562.It is a scenery of beautiful gardens, a castle more similar to a French " chateau " than a medieval fortress, which has always fascinated entire generations of nobles and monarchs.

However , the tragic past, and the curses spun in the wake of multiple family disasters and betrayals, build the darkest legend that current heirs ignore, and that fascinates every tourist who approaches Angus just to see, even from a distance, as the horizon is majestically cut by this incredible construction...and damn.

We invite you to meet the main ghosts that inhabit Glamis Castle.

The deformed man

It is said that the third Earl of Stratmore had several children, but unfortunately one of them, the eldest , born badly, he came into the world with a very serious deformity .So much so that they thought he was not going to live too long, so they decided to leave him abandoned in a room offering him the minimum care to leave this world soon.

But the boy was strong, very strong, and resisted.No one dared to kill him, since being the oldest he had a legitimate right to inherit the title and the castle, so far from harming him , he was rather "a death in life." He never left his room, and most incredible, which at least states Legend has it that he survived several generations of Stratmore.

He was a fierce creature and very deformed that frightened the entire successor line for a long time.No one knows if he died or not, and from there, that today, many continue to look for that supposed "hidden" room where this being lives that usually escapes from time to time, hence the deformed shadows that are sometimes seen « crawling »on the walls.

The woman without a tongue

No one knows her story, nobody knows why her despair or why lacks language. This is a young woman who appears only around the castle and in a particular room.She has a disfigured face and always opens her mouth trying to babble a word….It is intuited that only the family and owners of Glamis Castle , they know what happened to this miserable young woman.

The gray lady

So bucolica denomination responds actually a really tragic story.We are referring to Lady Glamis or Janet Douglas, a woman who was burned in 1537, for being accused of witchcraft.It is said, that she poisoned her first husband, the Mr.de Glamis, John Lyon , and who later accused her of having tried the same with King James V of Scotland.

All these accusations were in Fake reality but, since not enough evidence was found to prove his innocence, the good lady was burned at a stake...To this day, she continues to make an appearance in the castle.It is the most beautiful ghost, more disconsolate and sad of this scenario woven by history and drama.
