Up the road from Glasgow is the famous Stirling Castle. Stirling Castle was the key to the kingdom of Scotland, dominating a vast volcanic rock above the river Forth at the meeting point between Lowlands and Highlands.
Royal building projects like the Great Hall, the Chapel Royal and the Palace of James V, marked it out as one of the most important places in all Scotland. It was also a childhood home of some of the most famous people in Scottish and British history, such as Mary Queen of Scots and James VI and I.
On this Halloween we could feel the ghostly spirits of King James V and Mary Queen of Scots hovering nearby. They following us through each and every room as the sound of mournful bagpipes could be heard in the distance.
