Ghosts of the Scottish Borders: Haunting tales from Littledean Tower

Step into the eerie world of Littledean Tower, hidden away amidst the picturesque landscape of the Scottish Borders. In this episode, we delve into the ghostly tales that shroud this ancient fortress, revealing stories of restless spirits and tragic destinies.
Join us as we uncover the legend of the miserly old owner, whose insatiable greed bound her soul to the tower until she revealed the hidden location of her treasure. Witness the harrowing tale of the Laird whose lust for a mysterious woman led to his ultimate downfall, culminating in a night of terror and supernatural encounters.
Prepare to be captivated, enthralled, and perhaps even spooked, as we unravel the ghostly legends of Littledean Tower and uncover the lingering spirits that still call it home.

    As always more riveting tales from the greatest country on earth. Today I could not help but think of a little old Scottish man who came here and told me, "The Scots keep the Sabbath Day and anything else they can get their hands on." A hoard of money and a severed hand. Thank you once again.

    I encountered that quote on the wall of a Naval radio station. It takes more than just the Scots, though: "The British comprise a number of people's: Firstly the Scots, who keep the Sabbath and everything else they can lay their bluidy hands on, secondly the Welsh, who pray upon their knees and prey upon their neighbours. Thirdly there's the Irish, who don't know what the hell they're fighting for, but they're willing to die for it, and finally you have the English who consider themselves to be a race of self-made men, thereby ridding the Almighty of a dreadful responsibility!"
