Edinburgh Castle is presumed to be one of the most haunted spots in Scotland. And Edinburgh itself has been called the most haunted city in all of Europe. On various occasions, visitors have reported a phantom piper, a headless drummer, the spirits of French prisoners from the Seven Years War and colonial prisoners form the American Revolutionary War. Even the ghost of a dog wandering in the grounds' dog cemetery. The castle, standing magnificently between sea and hills, is a historical stronghold, parts of which are more than 900 years old. The cells of this ancient dungeon, the site of uncounted deaths, could very well be an perpetual place of strife for numerous spirits. Other areas of Edinburgh also have ghostly reputations.
