Visit Inverary Castle in Argyll, Scotland, and the welcoming guides will tell you stories of hauntings in the area, including a White Lady who appears on a nearby bridge and inside houses on the Inverary estate. A ghostly galleon trad­itionally materialises above Loch Fyne as a death warning to the Dukes of Argyll and other family members. Unusual incidents have also been reported within the castle itself, but perhaps the most remarkable aspect is the evol­ution of its most famous ghost from an old man into a young boy – within a space of 75 years.

This spectre is the phantom harper, whose music also acts as a death warning to the family.
