In 1314, Robert the Bruce led the Scottish to
one of Scotland's greatest victories over the English at the
Battle of Bannockburn. Lindsays and Crawfords were involved
in that epic struggle.
Dating from the 1400's, this is one of the most
haunted castles in Scotland. Glamis may be best known as the
setting for Shakespeare's MacBeth, but it is also the
home of a Lindsay ghost.
This castle, now in ruins, was the ancestral home
of the Crawfords in the 1400's. The 4th Earl of Crawford, Earl
Beardie, plays a role in another ghost story.
One of the most finely restored castles in Scotland.
In 1585, Lord Crawford, King James II, and the Earl of Montrose
shut themselves in Stirling Castle and remained there until
receipt of a guarantee that no harm would come to them if they
surrendered.
