The castle is said to be the haunt of two spirits. The ghosts of James Lorimer, who leased the property in 1878 after it had been abandoned, is said to have been seen seated in one of the castles corridors. He completed extensive renovation of the castle. The other ghosts is that of a lady called Ann Erskine, who fell to her death from one of the castle windows. She makes her presence felt by mysterious footsteps, which have no source. Map ref: NO 520 052 Directions: The castle can be reached off the B9171, West of Arncroach.
