The Haunted Places of Stirling
Stirling’s Old Town was once described as ‘the most densely populated supernatural square mile in all of Scotland’. If you want a good ghost story, Stirling is definitely the place to be. There’s no shortage of Haunted Houses and Spooky Places, either.
Here are a few of our most famous supernatural sites, many of which you will visit during the Stirling GhostWalk.
