Haunted History of Falkland Village, Fife,Scotland
.
Falkland Palace in Fife, Scotland, is a royal palace of the once Scottish Royalty
Scotland's first conservation village is best known as the location of Falkland Palace, begun in 1500 by James IV, and the best example of French-influenced Renaissance architecture in the United Kingdom. The palace was built to accommodate the royal court when they came to Falkland to hunt in the nearby forests; Mary, Queen of Scots, was a frequent visitor.
As at Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh, a fire broke out during the occupation of the buildings by Oliver Cromwell's troops in 1654. The fire destroyed the East Range. The Court never returned to Falkland Palace after 1665 and until the 19th century the village and palace were neglected. In the late 19th century extensive rebuilding and restoration work began. Today the palace and gardens are open to the public through the National Trust for Scotland.
The Head Gardener at Falkland Palace said “I am a great believer that old houses have “energy residues” or ghost. I have had two experiences at the palace. One day I was coming up the drive at dusk after a bike ride when I saw a thick, very real shadow moving on the East Range. I’m told a ghost called the “Grey Lady” walks in that area.
The other experience was different… I was looking around a bedroom in Lord Bute’s flat, a lovely one, with fantastic ceiling decorations. I was there with a companion and we felt very “unwanted” in the room, as if we were intruders. We had a very bad feeling, like some energy was surrounding us, it was not nice, we knew we had to get out of there.”The Tapestry Gallery, within the palace, is said to be frequented by the ghost of a lady whom has been seen pacing and down, anxiously waiting for the return of her lover.
The Stag Inn nearFalkland, Fyfe is said to be haunted by the noises
of children’s toys. Recently the bell in the bar was reported to start
ringing on its own. Customers also report cold
spots in the bar area.
Covenanter Hotel,
The covenanters’ were the Scottish people who signed the National Covenant in 1638 to confirm their opposition to the interference by the Stuart kings in the affairs of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland.
Here the spirit of a young woman who would drift through the bedrooms. Nobody knows who she was, but it has been suggested that she may be the ghost of Mary, Queen of Scots who was a regular visitor to Falkland Palace so the story pans out.
A GHOSTLY encounter on the road from Falkland to Auchter-muchty has uncovered a centuries-old tale which has aroused the collective memory of local people. The supernatural sighting was made by 19-year-old Thomas Armstrong when he was driving back to his home in Auchtermuchty with two friends. At the side of the road just past Falkland wood, the friends saw a blanket of mist which took on the appearance of a ghost as they drove by.
When Thomas returned home, he told his mother Wilma, who immediately remembered what she thought was an April Fools Day joke played by her brother 20 years previously. Wilma explained: My brother saw a ghost on the same stretch of road. He was walking along the road with it right by his side and it wouldn't leave him until he neared Dunshalt. He was in a state of shock when he came home that night, but nobody would believe him because it was April Fools' Day. When I phoned to tell him that Thomas had seen the ghost he laughed and said 'I told you so'. Nothing was ever done after my brother saw it, but when Thomas told me that he had seen a ghost in the same area I thought I would try to find out a little bit more about it. Wilma's appeal for information prompted a number of responses from local people familiar with the history of the area. Now she thinks that the ghostly apparition may have been that of the 'White Lady', a well known local legend who many believe is the ghost of Jenny Nettles, a Strathmiglo lass who was buried on the Nuthill estate in 1716. According to local historian Helen Cook, whose book 'A Haunting of Ghosts' deals with the area's supernatural folklore, Jenny committed suicide after she was deserted by her lover. The mystery man was known to be a member of the Macgregor clan who had occupied Falkland Castle during the Jacobite Uprising of 1715, but he disappeared from the area along with the rest of his clansmen when they were forced to leave the castle. According to legend, Jenny's ghost now wanders the countryside between Strathmiglo and Falkland, where she used to meet her lover. Wilma said that while she never knew of the story before, the tale has now aroused her curiosity. In a way I would like to see the ghost for myself, but on the other hand that is maybe not such a good idea! she added.

Culloden Moor in Scotland • Scene of the Battle of Culloden in 1746
We visit Culloden Moor, scene of the Battle of Culloden in 1746. At Culloden Moor on a sleeting April day in 1746, Charles Edward Stuart led his Jacobite army to ultimate disaster at the Battle of Culloden. The last battle to be fought on British soil took less than an hour to reach its bloody conclusion.
Bonnie Prince Charlie's army of 5,000 Jacobites faced 9,000 well-armed British troops under the command of the prince's distant cousin, General William Cumberland. Many Jacobites were killed as they lay wounded on the battlefield or after being taken prisoner.
Government dragoons were dispatched to hunt down fleeing Jacobites. The dragoons roamed far and wide, indiscriminately killing rebels, bystanders, spectators, residents and anyone else who was within reach in the aftermath of the battle. It is estimated that the total dead on the Jacobite side was well over 1,000. Nearly 3500 Jacobites, supporters and others were taken prisoner in the aftermath of Culloden. Cumberland later became known as Butcher Cumberland for the atrocities committed after the battle ended. Culloden marked the end of a sporadic civil war for Succession that had lasted 60 years. After that, Jacobite hopes of another “Restoration” were effectively dead.
The Caledonian Canal, Loch Ness & the Highlands - Cruise the heart of the Scottish Highlands aboard the 8 passenger luxury hotel barge 'Scottish Highlander'.
Our Cruises in Scotland
We cruise sedately through the Great Glen between Inverness and Fort William, navigating beautiful lochs and the scenic, absorbing Caledonian Canal. Ancient castles perched on the water's edge, heather-clad hillsides and arguably the finest inland cruising in the world. The legends of the past, the taste of single malt and the mythical inhabitant of Loch Ness all contribute to a special magic only experienced in Scotland's dramatic Highlands.

Scottish Highlander has the atmosphere of a Scottish country house with subtle use of tartan furnishings and landscape paintings. At 117 feet she is spacious and has every comfort for year-round cruising. Cuisine is traditional Scottish fare -- salmon, game and seafood, prepared by your own Master Chef, and the barge's experienced crew of four will take care of your every need.
A cruise aboard Scottish Highlander along the Great Glen as you admire some of Scotland's finest scenery will be unforgettable.

Frankenstein Audiobook ; or The Modern Prometheus (1818) by Mary Shelley | Audiobook with subtitles
Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a novel written by the British author Mary Shelley. Shelley wrote the novel when she was 18 years old. The first edition was published anonymously in London in 1818, and this audiobook is read from that text. Shelley's name appeared on the revised third edition, published in 1831. The title of the novel refers to the scientist, Victor Frankenstein, who learns how to create life and creates a being in the likeness of man, but larger than average and more powerful. In modern popular culture, people have tended to refer to the Creature as Frankenstein (especially in films since 1931), despite this being the name of the scientist, and the creature being unnamed in the book itself. Frankenstein is a novel infused with elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement. It was also a warning against the over-reaching of modern man and the Industrial Revolution, alluded to in the novel's subtitle, The Modern Prometheus. The story has had an influence across literature and popular culture and spawned a complete genre of horror stories and films. It is arguably considered the first fully-realised science fiction novel and raises many issues still relevant to today's society. (Summary from wikipedia.org, adapted by Cori Samuel.)

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
