  1. The ghost of Lady Barbara Grant, a daughter of one of the chiefs in the 16th century, is said to haunt the tower of the castle. As the story goes, Lady Barbara fell in love with a man whom her father deemed unsuitable for her, a man below her station, and instead he found another man of his own choosing that he considered more suitable for her to wed. Barbara defied her father and refused to marry the man her father had chosen for her. Supposedly the Chief then had Barbara locked in a hidden closet in the tower that was concealed by tapestries and which was called "The Blackness". She was to be kept there until she ceased to defy his wishes. How long she was kept in the closet, no one knows, but legend says she died in it "of a broken heart". Witnesses later claimed to have seen her ghost coming through the door of the closet from behind the tapestry in the tower, stopping at one point and appearing to wash her hands - before disappearing through the door of the tower. When the closet was opened in the 1880's, there was no body found in it. There were only some old swords and muskets hidden inside. Recently when workmen were working late at night in the Castle on the refurbishment of one of the upstairs floors (for the most recent owner), near the tower, they were disturbed by the sounds of footsteps in the tower, the sounds of the door opening and closing, and the sounds of crying and of voices. The workers fled the Castle that night and refused to ever work there again after dark. It may be safe to assume that if the legend is true, then Lady Barbara is still walking the tower which bears her name.
