Edinample Castle - a bit of Scottish history with a ghost to boot!

Originally built by 'Black' Duncan Campbell (Donnchadh Dubh) of Glenorchy in the 16th century, on land acquired by the Campbells after their campaign for proscription, and subsequent demise of the MacGregors. It is said that Black Duncan pushed the castle's builder off the roof, in part to avoid paying him, but also because he omitted to construct the ramparts that had been requested. It is also said that the ghost of the builder has been seen walking on the roof!

For more information about its restoration, check out the article at Rob Roy Country
