What it is

Scotland is beautiful. Scotland is historic. Scotland is also absolutely packed with ghosts, monsters, cursed castles, grave robbers, strange legends, murderous clans, and enough supernatural trouble to make an ordinary vacation feel suspicious.

WEIRD SCOTLAND TRAVEL takes you beyond the postcard version of Scotland and into the wonderfully strange stories hiding behind its castles, lochs, islands, cities, battlefields, and windswept Highlands.

Explore Edinburgh’s famously haunted underground vaults. Meet the body snatchers who once supplied Scotland’s medical schools. Search the dark waters of Loch Ness for a monster that has stubbornly refused to cooperate with photographers. Discover terrifying kelpies, cursed clans, bloody castle legends, ancient standing stones, mysterious disappearances, bizarre traditions, and historical events that sound far too ridiculous to be true.

Along the way, travel through Edinburgh, Glasgow, the Highlands, legendary lochs, remote islands, ruined castles, and some of Scotland’s strangest corners while learning the history and folklore that make the country so unforgettable.

This is not a dry history book and it is definitely not an ordinary travel guide. It is a funny, curious, slightly cheeky journey through the Scotland hiding behind the tartan postcards.

Inside you'll discover ghost castles, Loch monsters, body snatchers, kelpies, cursed clans, haunted vaults, strange traditions, disastrous decisions, and other completely normal Scottish complications.

Whether you're planning a trip to Scotland, dreaming about one, or simply enjoy history when it behaves badly, WEIRD SCOTLAND TRAVEL proves that Scotland has never needed help being interesting.

Pack a raincoat.

Respect the castles.

And if something starts moving in the loch, maybe don't get closer.
