Carlos the ghost

July 25, 2022 by

Like all good castles, Eilean Donan has a number of ghosts associated with it.

“Carlos” is a Spanish soldier who is associated with the area known as the exhibition.

In 1719 a small number of Spanish soldiers were garrisoned at Eilean Donan as they supported the resident Jacobite soldiers, so perhaps he was an unfortunate victim of the uprising which saw the Castle destroyed?

Footsteps are regularly heard by staff in this area after the visitors have gone home.
