Scottish Ghosts

by Dane Love

Scotland is a haunted nation with hundreds of ghosts frequenting buildings old and new. It is also a land of castles and virtually every one seems to be haunted. Yet country houses are haunted too and even small private houses located in the midst of housing estates have ghosts of their own. There are haunted battlefields, mountain spectres, Viking longboats, ghostly vehicles and bouncing cannonballs. Many ghosts are victims of love triangles, others were soldiers killed in the line of duty. There are ghosts hotels, theatres, factories, churches, barracks, aerodromes and on beaches. In their earthly lives the manifestations have been anything from Tahitian princesses and Scottish queens to sailors, singers, dogs and monkeys! Also, Scotland seems to have more sightings of the well-known 'green lady' than any other country. The story behind each haunting, sighting and occurrence at over 250 locations is told in fascinating detail. An irresistible book!

A comprehensive accounts of ghosts in Scotland, some centuries old and some recent with history and geography for context. None very long or detailed. Having read Kidnapped last year, I appreciated the historical background more. A fun read if you like Scotland or ghosts.

I had such a great time reading this book. It was recommended to me via a parapsychology reading site and I'm glad I found a copy. My copy is from 1996 and just filled with historical facts and trivia about the entire island of Scotland and outer islands as well.

The ghost tales are broken down by various groupings, such as, 'Green Ladies,' 'Country Houses,' 'Soldiers and Battlefields' etc. So much more in fact. Mr. Love provided us with four maps so that we could follow along on the journey with him.

The Bibliography was complete and gave me many more books to explore.

This book, being my heritage is Scottish, I'm from the Clan of Buccleuch, so this was a true gem for me to find. A very complete listing. So, if you enjoy ghosts and the Celtic lands, this book is for you.
