lO Davis's video: History Haunting of Killin Perthshire Scotland

You'll find the ruins of Finlarig Castle hidden amongst trees. There's also an ancient standing stone known as Fingal's stone which legend says is the burial place of the mythical giant Fingal. Killin also has a fairly well preserved stone circle which you'll find by following a path that leads along the side of the Falls of Dochart Inn. By the inn you'll also see the dramatic arches that lead to the ancient burial ground of the Clan MacNab. Finlarig Castle is an early 17th-century castle standing on a mound on a peninsula between the River Lochay and Loch Tay, roughly 1 kilometre north of Killin in highland Perthshire, Scotland.These lands near Killin were originally held by the Menzies family but Finlarig Castle was built in 1629 by 'Black' Duncan Campbell (Donnchadh Dubh) of Glenorchy, the castle is an L-plan tower-house, formerly protected by an outer enclosure or barmekin, which is now in a dangerously ruinous condition. It was one of many strongholds built in Argyll and Perthshire by the Campbells of Breadalbane. The castle was visited by Rob Roy MacGregor in 1713. Near the Castle's north wall is a stone-lined pit which, legend has it, was used for beheading prisoners of noble blood. Commoners were hanged on a nearby oak tree.Said to be haunted Near the Castle are the remnants of the Breadalbane Mausoleum, a mock-Tudor chapel erected in 1829 on the site of an earlier chapel and burial place founded in 1523 by an ancestor of the Earls of Breadalbane, Sir Colin Campbell. Allowed to decay over many years, this brick-built building has almost completely collapsed. Because of close collapse of the castle walking in or around the castle does this on her or his own risk. Killin ( Church' in Gaelic) is a village situated at the western head of Loch Tay in Stirling (formerly Perthshire), Scotland. Historical Killin is connected to the celtic saint 'St Fillan'. The coming of Christianity to Breadalbane, towards the end of the 8th century, is attributed to St. Fillan, who, like St. Columba came from Ireland. He is reputed to have been the keeper of some the famous 'healing stones' which are now kept in the Breadalbane Folklore Centre located in the Old Mill close to the falls. The village has been the home of many ancient celtic tribes, saints and clans who have all left their mark on the village and its surroundings. Very little is known of the earliest inhabitants, but they have left their mark in the form of cup and ring marked stones, stone axes at the Creag-na-Caillach axe factory, and crannogs - stilted dwellings in the loch. The village has had a stormy history dating back to Black Duncan of the Cowl, who owned all this land at one time. For the past 1000 years, the MacNab clan has long been associated with Killin and the ancient burial ground of the family on the Island of Inchbuie in the river Dochart is visible from the bridge. There is also evidence of a Roman fort on this island, also called Yellow Island, and according to the legends of Killin, it is haunted. The ghost of the last person buried stands guard over the island until the next burial, when a new ghost takes his/her place.The island can be visited by the public on request. Keys to the gate are held in the library in Killin.community.visitscotland.com http://www.glendiscovery.com http://www.gateway-to-the-scottish-highlands.com en.wikipedia.org Music by ~Kevin MacLeod ~ Ritual
