Banchory

Crathes Castle, the home of the Burnett family until it became a National Trust for Scotland property, can be found a few miles from the small town of Banchory in the northeast of Scotland. Earliest building work on the castle dates from the middle of the sixteenth century, with additions having been made in the early part of the seventeenth century and in the eighteenth century.

In the oldest part of the castle, the double tower, there is a room known as the Green Lady's Room because of the frequent sightings of such a phenomenon over many years. The identity of the Green Lady is uncertain, although some people believe her to have been one of the family.

She has been seen both on her own and with a baby. The existence of such a woman in real time has been borne out by the fact that during restoration work in the building two skeletons were discovered, one of a woman, the other of a baby.

It is thought to be most likely that the woman had become pregnant in undesirable circumstances and that someone had taken the decision that it would be most prudent to avoid embarrassment to the family and dispose of both mother and baby. In spite of her remains having been freed from their place of hiding, the Green Lady continues to haunt the tower.
