Cortachy Castle, Scotland
Cortachy Castle is the family seat of the Ogilvy clan and people say that this castle, situated north of Kirriemuir in Angus is haunted by a ghostly drummer although only on special occasions.
It is also said that whenever the drummer is heard playing, a death in the Ogilvy family is imminent. The origins of the ghostly drummer are as follow: apparently a long time ago there was a drummer at the castle who did not give due warning that the castle was about to be attacked and as such incurred the wrath of his master. By means of punishment the drummer was apparently taken to the top of the tower and thrown to his death.
