This week, we’re traveling to the heart of Scotland to explore one of the most iconic—and haunted—strongholds in the world: Edinburgh Castle. Perched high on Castle Rock, this ancient fortress has withstood centuries of war, siege, and bloodshed… and some say, the spirits of its past have never left.

From the chilling beat of a headless drummer to the mournful sounds of the phantom piper lost beneath the castle, we’ll uncover the ghost stories that linger in its shadowy corridors. Discover the dungeon that once held prisoners of war, hear tales of a spectral dog, and find out why visitors report sudden drops in temperature, ghostly apparitions, and overwhelming feelings of dread.

Is it just the weight of history… or is something still lurking behind the castle’s cold stone walls?

Also the bagpipe music comes from a recording of my former Bagpipe band!
