Scotland's most haunted castles ahead of Halloween

It's the spookiest time of year and for those of you looking for an added adventure, perhaps to seek out some restless spirits and ghosts, then a trip to one of Scotland's haunted castles could be in order. With centuries of gruesome murders, bloody battles and cruel assassinations behind them, many of these majestic strongholds come with a ghastly tale or two.

With that in mind, tombola bingo has analysed 134,194 TripAdvisor reviews across 43 of the UK and Ireland’s most haunted castles and totalled up the number of times the reviews mentioned the words ‘spooky’, ‘scary’, ‘ghost’ and ‘haunted’.

Three Scottish castles made the top 10 across the UK and Ireland, with Tulloch Castle in Dingwall ranking highest in second place, while Glamis Castle in Angus (seventh) and Dalhousie Castle in Midlothian (eighth) also featured, but they are far from the only haunted castles you'll find dotted around Scotland.
