Cooler temperatures, cozy sweaters, and Halloween candy? I\u2019m ready. Of course, Autumn comes with an increase in spooky stories, and there are few countries more stuffed with haunted sites than <a href=\"\/b\/great-britain-uk#countries=216\">Scotland<\/a>. A country with a long history, it seems as if you can\u2019t visit a town in Scotland without hearing ghost stories. For those brave enough to explore the unknown, we\u2019ve prepared a list of the most haunted places in Scotland.

In the 17th century, people lived, worked, and died in this underground close. One area was bricked up due to an outbreak of the Plague, and only recently has it been open to the public. The dark, dreary atmosphere of the close is enough to creep anyone out, even if you don\u2019t have any supernatural encounters during your visit. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There have been many reports of visitors seeing the ghost of a little girl wandering the area. Guided tours are available and will take you through the close, as well as to Greyfriars cemetery: the place Burke and Hare, infamous Scottish body snatchers and serial killers, robbed their first grave for medical experiments.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/most-haunted-places-in-america\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The 11 Most Haunted Places in America<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15701\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15701\" style=\"width: 680px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-15701 lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/HauntedScotland1-min-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Looking up at Cawdor Castle on a cloudy day\" width=\"680\" height=\"454\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/HauntedScotland1-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/HauntedScotland1-min-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/HauntedScotland1-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/HauntedScotland1-min.jpg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/454;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15701\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cawdor Castle | Photo credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/visualhunt.com\/author\/7d3917\">string_bass_dave<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/visualhunt.com\/re\/471e8a\">VisualHunt<\/a> \/ <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/2.0\/\"> CC BY-SA<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><b>Cawdor Castle, Cawdor<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shakespeare fans will want to visit this castle: Macbeth was made Thane of Cawdor in the famous play. There have always been legends that the play is haunted (theatre performers refuse even to say the title: instead, it\u2019s referred to as \u201cThe Scottish Play\u201d), but is Cawdor Castle, too? According to many, yes. The castle is said to have been cursed by a group of witches that were outraged when they learned Shakespeare used one of their spells in the iconic opening of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Macbeth. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other famous ghostly residents of Cawdor Castle include the supposed daughter of the Earl of Cawdor. As the story goes, he discovered she was in a relationship with the son of a rival family and chased her through the castle. When she tried to lower herself out a window, the Earl of Cawdor cut off his daughter\u2019s hands. There have been several reports of a handless woman roaming the halls.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15702\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15702\" style=\"width: 680px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-15702 lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/HauntedScotland2-min-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A crumbling building in the haunted Greyfriars Cemetary\" width=\"680\" height=\"454\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/HauntedScotland2-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/HauntedScotland2-min-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/HauntedScotland2-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/HauntedScotland2-min.jpg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/454;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15702\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Greyfriars Kirkland | Photo credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/visualhunt.com\/author\/cbee23\">Gruenemann<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/visualhunt.com\/re\/471e8a\">Visual Hunt<\/a> \/ <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/\"> CC BY<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><b>Greyfriars Kirkyard, Edinburgh<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you didn\u2019t get enough of Greyfriars on your tour of Mary King\u2019s Close, exploring Greyfriars Kirkyard is a must for those brave enough to attempt it.

Stirling Castle is said to be haunted by the ghost of Mary, Queen of Scots. Visitors have seen her roaming the grounds of the castle &#8212; and, seeing as Mary was beheaded in 1587, it may not always be a pretty picture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other ghost sightings in Stirling Castle include The Green Lady and The Highland Ghost. Believed to have been a servant to Mary, Queen of Scots, The Green Lady may have died in a fire protecting her; visitors have seen her walking the castle halls, though never with Mary. The Highland Ghost, so-called because guests see him dressed in traditional Highland attire, is often thought to be a tour guide: guests have claimed to approach him for directions, only to have him disappear before their eyes! The Highland Ghost was reportedly also caught on camera in 1933, so you can see if you believe it for yourself. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether or not you believe in the supernatural, Scotland\u2019s occasionally-creepy atmosphere has so much to offer travelers of all kinds. If you\u2019re looking for history, pop culture, or beautiful architecture, Scotland may be your best bet &#8212; just don\u2019t be surprised if you encounter a ghost or two!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you visited one of these haunted places?
