Church of St Vigeans, Vigeans

The Church of St Vigeans in Vigeans, Lowlands, is home to a rather unusual legend. It's said that the building materials for the church were carried into position by a water kelpie, a mythical creature from Scottish folklore. But that's not all - the kelpie apparently made a rather ominous promise: if anyone working for the church ever took their own life, the church would sink into a great lake that lay deep under the building. Sounds like a pretty wild story, but it's said that in the eighteenth century, the minister of the parish actually did take his own life.

St Vigeans' church, Arbroath

For years, locals were wary of entering the building, fearing it would collapse into the hidden waters beneath the foundations. This eerie tale has become an integral part of the church's history and a fascinating footnote in the annals of Scottish folklore.

Letham grange, Arbroath

Letham Grange in Arbroath has a reputation for being one of Scotland's most haunted locations. The story begins in the 1940s when a group of WRENS were billeted in the old ballroom during the war. They reported waking up in the middle of the night to see a silvery grey figure of a man with a sunken face and deep set eyes. He was dressed in a wide-brimmed hat and high collar, but his body seemed to fade away at the waist. The WRENS were understandably shaken by these appearances, and the owners of the grange were asked about the haunting. They reassured everyone that no one was in danger but advised against sleeping in the ballroom, which was eventually used for something else.
