#12 : Dunnottar Castle, Scotland

The ruins of Dunnottar Castle, rising on a steep rock, a dozen or so miles south of Aberdeen, are some of the most famous and majestic ruins we can see on Scottish soil. The castle, surrounded by the sea on three sides and connected to the mainland with only one narrow path, remained for many centuries an impregnable fortress.
Dunnottar Castle is supposedly haunted by several ghosts. One of the ghosts is supposed to be, about 13-year-old girl noticed several times near the brewery. Another spectrum takes the form of a high Viking seen in the lodge at the main entrance. On several occasions, strange noises were heard as well, the Benholm's Lodging empty at that time. Dunnottar Castle was also used during the filming of "Hamlet" by Franco Zeffirelli. The title role was played by Mel Gibson.
