Castle of Mey
The castle dates from the 16th century and was built by the Earl of Caithness. The castle is haunted by the ubiquitous Green Lady, said to have been the daughter of the 5th Earl.

She is fell in love with a servant, which caused friction between her and her father. He shut her away in the attic room, and she threw herself from the window. This legend is common in Scotland, see Ackergill Tower.
