Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire is steeped in history. The many Castles scattered around the County have their own ghosts, some fallen in battle, others were murdered - each unable to find peace. So they haunt the Countryside.

Book a ghost hunting experience or an organised ghost hunt throughout Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. You will be accompanied by a medium or a ghost hunter and an historian.

The Castlegate at Aberdeen saw many a public hanging and even witch burnings. Some of these souls still do not rest and haunt our Granite City - are you brave enough to seek them out...

Slains Castle Pub runs Ghost Walks in the autumn and winter months. To contact them for timings and dates see the Slains Castle Pub page.
