Ghosts of Craigievar Castle: Tales of Betrayal and tragedy

Eerie Edinburgh

In this episode, we explore the chilling history and hauntings of Craigievar Castle, one of Scotland’s most iconic and haunted strongholds. Known for its fairy-tale appearance, Craigievar hides a much darker side—tales of ghostly apparitions and tragic deaths that still linger within its walls. From the Fiddler, who is said to haunt the castle with the sound of eerie music, to the infamous legend of a naked man forced to leap from the tower to his death, Craigievar’s haunted past has terrified visitors for centuries.

A special thanks to Owen Staton, the incredible Welsh storyteller, and Effie from the amazing Mums, Mysteries, and Murders true crime podcast for helping bring these ghostly tales to life with their incredible voice work.
