Photos Show What It’s Like to Visit Scotland’s Haunted Castle

My first stop was the Prisoner of War vaults, used to hold prisoners of war in the 1700s and 1800s.

The prisoners held in these quarters came from France, America, Spain, the Netherlands, Ireland, Italy, Denmark, Poland, and Americans fighting in the War of Independence, according to the castle website.

The room was dimly lit and showed hammocks where the prisoners would sleep.

For as long as Tom can remember, he has understood the reality around him through the tinted glasses of works of fiction, be it books, films, TV shows, or anime. An English graduate, he wrote articles on a wide array of topics for several years, from entertainment and pop culture to history and literature. Before that, he was an educator and a roleplay game writer and developer. It is his deeply-rooted love for performing arts and visual media that led him to become a part of the DC team in 2020.
