  • This is a behind the scenes vlog as well as the night footage I captured at Dalquharran castle in Dailly(south west Scotland) from sunset to sunrise.
    The castle is believed to be haunted by a woman who killed herself on these grounds.
    Keep an eye out on the ground floor(left hand side) during the fog between 3am - 4am when no-one was around and please feel free to give an explanations in the comment section below.
    Dalquharran Castle is a category A listed building in South Ayrshire, Scotland, designed by Robert Adam and completed around 1790. The first recorded lord of the property which already included a castle, was Gilbert Kennedy, as stated in a 1474 Charter for the nearby Crossraguel Abbey. The estate was later owned by the Kennedy family for centuries.

    Best film I've seen of Dalquharran. It is a national disgrace that this fine building (and its older sister not far away) is left rotting away.

      @@amacmedia3221 Sadly no, that plan died the death and a local farmer has bought the place and land I believe. It would make a great country house for the Scottish Government (like Chequers in England). I've posted a message for you on the Maybole FB page.

Which prompted me to search for further info which lead me here. First photo I took was from the back of the house 3rd window in on the left. 2nd photo from the front of the house 3rd window in on the right, the shape I see appears to be facing the camera on both shots, very creepy!
