Speaker 1 (00:00):
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Hey everybody, and welcome back to four the.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
For the Boom. We're back us. We're back currently on
the tube of you recording this episode and we are
going to be leaving the US this week for our episode.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
So somewhere I have always wanted to visit, not more
than me, I know.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
I know.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
I've been doing a lot of family research as I
do quite often. Don't ask why, it's just but.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
He doesn't do that for me.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
You're French, God, you should not want to know. Anyways,
I do this a lot. It's become like a hobby
of mine over the last like ten years. But I
was looking up stuff in and around kind of where
my family comes from, and it is in Scotland and
(01:40):
it's a castle, and I just thought it would be
cool to do something. You know, we always we mainly
focus on the US because it's where we live, but we,
you know, got to do some stuff out of the
country now and then we've done some Canada, We've done Ireland.
I think we did. We do England. Yeah, what did
we do in England? The rams head in That's right,
we did, man, it was a while ago. That was
(02:02):
a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I can't believe I just pulled that out.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
That was a couple of because we did that right
before we left Florida. I feel like my mic stand
is going down, is it not? I don't know. I
feel like I'm feel like I'm all super hunched over.
So yeah, we're gonna do I'm going to try to
like integrate some more out of the country things. Sometimes
information's harder to find, because I remember a long time
(02:30):
ago I tried to do an episode about the orphanage
where John Lennon we grew up, or I think that's
what it was. And because they don't have there's not
so much like free they in England. They keep their
information more into wraps. Like here you can just go
look somebody up and find their whole record. Over there,
it's not like that, so it was much harder to find.
(02:52):
But anything that I can find that we have enough
information on, I'd like to do an episode. Oh, we
also did the hell Fire Caves and the house I
can't remember the name of the house that was. I
loved that episode. That was one of my So we're
going to be doing a place called slain Castle, and
if I'm I'm going one hundred percent. I'm going to
(03:13):
mispronounce some words in here because some of them are,
like you know, they're Gaelic based words, and I don't
speak Gaelic, so I'm definitely going to ruin some of this.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
That would be cool, though we speak Gaelic.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I remember when I said I wanted to learn to
speak Gaelic and you were like, why.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Well, nobody speaks it.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I feel like there's a whole nation of people.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I understand you talking about, but like it's not a
common language in America, is what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I don't care about that. I just want to learn.
I want to learn as much about my heritage as
I can. And my family comes originally from Scotland, from Perth, Scotland,
and then the later generations like the other side. All right,
so my great grandmother my immigrated from Dublin to America,
(04:01):
but it's the other side that comes from Scotland, so
we're scott Irish in my family. But you know whatever. Anyways,
we're going to do Slain Castle that. There's a whole
bunch of castles over there I'd like to do.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I just want to visit a castle so bad.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I saw one once in Bellevue, Florida. It was just
a house. It looked like a castle.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I think you dropped me by that once.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
I did, Yeah, a long time ago. It was really cool.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
It was really cool. I saw a house had like
turrets and everything.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Crazy, it has a drawbridge?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
What? Yeah, it has a draw bridge. Stop it some
eccentric wretch person who moved to BF. But what do
you say we get into this. I don't know how
long of an episode this is going to turn out
to be, because again, you can only get popular information basically,
so we'll do our best. A Cruden Bay, located near
(04:51):
slain Castle, is a picturesque village that continues to charm
visitors with its serene environment and welcoming community, and today
the town thrive as a peaceful retreat for locals and
tourists so like offering breathtaking views of the North Sea,
rolling dunes, and a sandy beach ideal for leisurely walks.
It's small yet lively center boast boutique shops, art galleries
(05:13):
and cafes, creating a blend of modern comforts within the
historical setting. Now, I watch a lot of reels about
Scotland and this pretty much could summarize all of Scotland. Yeah,
it is. It is like you're walking around in the
thirteen hundred's with modern stuff. I love it.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I don't know how. I don't know how anybody could
live over there and not like it. Like I don't
understand their politics or you know, maybe the cost of living.
I don't understand all that because I don't live there.
But I know, just visually, you could send me out
to live in the middle of a field with the
decent sized tent and I'd be happy. It's amazing. There's
(05:55):
nothing there that I've seen that doesn't look incredible. There
is not a view to be had that sucks. Agreed,
just walking down the street. I know, even their little
coastal villages are amazing. Like there's just nothing bad about it.
I mean maybe it's people. I don't know. I don't know,
but I want to go. I want to live there
(06:15):
one day now. The village is particularly famous for its
celebrated golf course, ranked amongst Scotland's finest, which draws players
from all over the world. Cruden Bay's harbor remains a
focal point, HARKing back to its roots and fishing, while
now serving as a dock for recreational boating and maritime exploration.
The modern day fusion of history, natural beauty, and local
(06:36):
warmth makes Cruden Bay a perfect starting point for any
journey to nearby Slain Castle. Just as stones throw away
from Slain's Castle lies the idyllic village of cruden Bay,
a place steeped in its own fascinating history. The town's
name is believed to derive from the Gaelic this is
(06:56):
I'm gonna mess this up because I want to call it.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Croach.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
I don't I think it's krush Dane, Okay, I think
I've been trying to learn some Gaelic care in there,
translating to slaughter of Danes because the Vikings came here,
a reference to the Battle of cruden Bay that took
place in the eleventh century. Now, this bloody confrontation saw
Scottish forces repelling Viking invaders, solidifying the region's role in
(07:25):
defending the nation's sovereignty. In later centuries, Cruden Bay evolved
into a thriving fishing village, with its proximity to the
North Sea providing ample opportunities for trade and sustenance. The
harbor became a hub for exploring or exporting goods like
cured herring and shellfish, bolstering the local economy and fostering
(07:48):
connections with other coastal communities. And we got to mention, hagis,
would you try, hagis, I wouldn't need it?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (07:57):
It's like, I forget, I know, I only know a
few things that are in it, don't I know. It's
like oatmeal, some other meats and stuff, and it's like
baked into the lining of a sheep's stomach.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Absolutely not. It's disgusting, absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
And people say it's gross.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Abbot, but it's you know, that sounds disgusting.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Not a chance, not a chance that I would put
that into my face.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Nop.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
It looks awful.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
No, thank you well.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
By the nineteenth century, Cruden Bay had established itself as
a retreat for the wealthy, drawing visitors enchanted by its
serene landscape and invigorating sea air. The construction of the
railway in the late eighteen hundreds further boosted tourism, transforming
the village into a fashionable destination. Hotels and guesthouses sprang
(08:47):
up to accommodate travelers. Including bram Stoker, who found inspiration
in the area's haunting beauty. You know the name bram Stoker. Today,
cruden Bay's history is celebrated through local festivals and community events,
ensuring that its legacy continues to thrive alongside the echoes
of Slain Castle. I am going to say, I don't
(09:10):
want to give too much away, but there is a
connection to Stoker in this, like like bram Stoker's Dracula.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah, we'll get.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
To it, but yes, there's a connection here.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Stop it.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
It's cool. It's one of the reasons I wanted to
do this. Wow A. Cruden Bay's natural beauty is one
of its biggest draws. The village is surrounded by rolling
dunes and pristine beaches that stretch for miles, offering a
tranquil setting for all visitors. It's seen at golf course,
ranked among the best in Scotland, is another highlight, attracting
(09:47):
players from around the world. To say that you have
one of the best golf courses in Scotland. Is that's big.
That's where golf was invented. Yeah, wow, And you know,
like I can honestly say I've never heard of cruden
Bay's golf course. I've heard of Edinburgh's because that's where
(10:08):
it started. M m. But to be like, I have
the best, we have the best golf course in all
of Scotland. Like I don't even know how to like,
uh conceptualize us with something else. It's like, I don't know.
It's it's a big claim. It's a really big claim.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Because it's the birthplace of this thing and you have
the best. It is crazy. Now. Art galleries, boutique shops
and cozy cafes add to the town's charm, providing an
inviting atmosphere for tourists exploring the region, and it's not uncommon.
It's not uncommon for visitors to pair their trip to
slain Castle with a leisurely day in Cruden Bay, enjoying
(10:48):
its blend of historical intrigue and contemporary pleasures okay, pleasures.
Now Nestled amidst the rugged northeastern coastline of Scotland, slain
Castle stands as an enduring monument to centuries of history.
Its grand architecture, set against a backdrop of windswept cliffs
and crashing waves, is imbued with a haunting beauty that
(11:12):
has captured the imaginations for generations. This Scottish landmark is
not merely a relic of the past. It is a
living story, rich with tales of political intrigue, artistic inspiration
and ghostly apparitions. Hey, the Slain Castle's origins date back
to the sixteenth century, so we're talking fifteen hundreds, a
(11:36):
time when Scotland was rife with territorial disputes and shifting allegiances. Now,
the castle was built by the Earls of Errol, powerful
members of the Hay family who sought to establish their
dominance along the Northeast coast. I'm figuring this is the
northeast coast. It has to be like a major trade
(11:57):
route or something to that effect, because it seems like
an important area. Okay, Now, overlooking Cruden Bay, the original
towerhouse was strategically designed to monitor maritime activities and defend
against potential threats. One of the most remarkable figures associated
with Slain Castle is George Hay, the seventh Earl of Errol,
(12:21):
known for his loyalty to King James. That's six right, Yes,
I suck at this. Hay played a key role in
securing the King's visit the Slain Castle in fifteen ninety four,
a moment that elevated the estate's importance in Scotland's political landscape.
Hay was a staunch Catholic during a time of religious turbulence,
(12:43):
and his ability to navigate these challenges solidified his legacy
as a skilled diplomat. Not merely a military stronghold, the
castle also served as a residence for the Hayes. Local
villagers often spoke of the castle as a beacon of
both protection and authority, its towering presence inspiring equal parts
(13:05):
admiration and awe. Look, this is this castle. Super cool?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I bet it's a freaking castle.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Yeah, but it's just I don't know how to describe it.
It's because of its connection to something else. It makes
it look cooler to me, okay, And like, I just
don't know how to put it into where it's because
don't want to be.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Like it's this well, all right, continue on.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
As the century is unfolded, Slain Castle became embroiled in
the political mechanation machinate gees, I'm tired in the political
machinations of Scotland's complex history, and during the late sixteenth century,
its role in the Catholic resistance against Protestant rule placed
its owner in a precarious position. Now, the Hayes were
(14:03):
staunch Catholics, and their allegiance to the monarchy often placed
them at odds with other factions, which is pretty common
for this time period. Another notable figure is Charles Edward Stewart,
famously known as Bonnie Prince Charlie. Though not directly associated
with the castle, the Hayes' support for the Jacobite cause
(14:24):
during his uprising in the eighteenth century links Slain's Castle
to one of Scotland's most romanticized historical narratives. The castle
halls are said to have hosted secret gatherings of Jacobite supporters,
their plans cloaked in mystery. Now, if the Jacobite army
(14:45):
was were people who followed a certain king of the
time and were trying to, like fight to I guess
put them in power. I don't believe they ever succeeded,
but I do believe, Like if you watch the movie
bray Heart, that's what they're fighting.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Oh okay, okay.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Okay, now they're fighting for it.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
I'm not going to claim to know a lot about
any of us, because I don't, but I get where
you're going with that, because I've definitely seen the movie.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
I love that movie.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I know, it's such a good movie.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
It is one of my favorite movies ever.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
It is so good.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
But yeah, so my family history has some Jacobites. Jacobites good.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I like it.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
It's like centabite if anybody knows the reference. Beyond its
political engagements, the castle also played a role in shaping
local governance. The Earls of Errol were known to mediate
disputes among neighboring clans, utilizing their influence to maintain peace
in the area. The legacy of leadership is still remembered
(15:53):
in the folk folklore of Cruden Bay, where tales of
the Hayes diplomacy diplomacy, I can't do this today are
recounted with reverence. So this is a very notable historic place,
which is probably why it still stands today. And it's still,
you know, like such a big landmark. A lot of
stuff happened here. Then, the nineteenth century heralded a new
(16:17):
chapter for Slain Castle as it underwent a dramatic transformation
under the stewardship of architect John Smith. It's not the
John Smith that we know from American history. Either, Okay,
I don't think maybe it is. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
That'd be kind of crazy, so.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
It would make sense for him d also be English.
I think he was English, wasn't? He was absolutely known
for his work on Balmoral Castle. Smith brought a Gothic
revival sensibility to Slain, enhancing its grandeur with crenelated. I
don't even know what that word crenelated. Come on, help
me out here.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I have no idea. You don't look at me.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Crenolated parapets, pointed arches and imposing facades. I'm gonna have
to figure out what that means. Crenelated. Let us know
if you know what that means. Smith's redesign turned the
castle into a stately residence that reflected the esthetic ideals
of the time. The interiors were equally impressive, boasting ornate
(17:16):
would work, sweeping staircases, and opulent furnishings. For a time,
the castle thrived as a social and cultural hub, attracting
visitors from across Scotland and beyond. Yet the early twentieth
century saw the castle's declined. Financial difficulties forced the Hayes
to sell the estate. I want to stop in the
(17:38):
middle of the sentence to point this out. Okay, the
Hayes are selling this in the nineteen twenties, who have
owned it since the fifteen hundreds. Yeah, dude, wild stuff
like that in America. No, I mean America's relatively hasn't
even there won't be in America for quite a while
when this castle is, you know, owned by the Hayes.
But I that bag the miner light. But that's a light.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
That's a lot.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
That's a light a long time.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
But it's crazy, dude, that's wild.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
That's what fifteen sixteenes, that's four hundred years. That's insane.
Slain Castle had been abandoned now it's it was by
the nineteen twenties that had been abandoned. I couldn't remember
if I stopped so suddenly because I was so amazed
that they owned it for four hundred years, so long.
It's once grand halls fell into ruin and nature began
(18:27):
to reclaim the structure. Today, the castle's weathered stones tell
a story of both splendor and decay, inviting visitors to
ponder the passage of time. Despite its ruinous state, Slain
Castle's architectural significance remains a source of fascination. Local historians
have meticulously documented its features, using archival drawings and photographs
(18:53):
to preserve its legacy. Efforts to stabilize the ruins are ongoing,
with conservationalists advocating for the castle's importance as a cultural treasure.
The castle, it looks probably like what you think it's.
It looks like a castle ruin like a castle. But
I don't want I mean, I'm not scott I won't
(19:13):
I don't live in Scotland. I would hope that they
wouldn't try to renovate it. I think it looks cool
and it and it's natural and its decay from the
but how many what is that? Five hundred years?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
So long?
Speaker 3 (19:33):
So long? Five hundred years? Like enjoy it while it
stands on its own.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
I don't know, though, because I feel like something you can.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Renovation and preservation are two different things. You can preserve
the spot without changing things.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
But to to renovate, to me feels wrong because to renovate, yeah,
you're making it look like it did, but you're you're
using modern things.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
So it's not true. It's not true history. Yeah, history
and all the architecture of the time.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
It would be like it would be like this if
you bought a Model T Forward and put a Nissan
three fifty Z motor in it. No, but that's what
I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
I mean technically the car is you know, it's restored
and drivable, it's more modern, but it's not the same. Yeah,
So I don't like it personally when and unless it's
like an old, like I don't know, nineteenth century house,
and you can recreate the way things were made and
(20:39):
tapestries and things like that, you know would work. But
we're talking about a castle. Yeah, this is different.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
It's definitely different than the historical houses and things like that.
I love when people buy historical houses and just kind
of redo them but keep a lot of the charm
from them.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
And but okay, another thing, though, is a historical house
is going to be a lot differ than a castle. Yeah, right,
because and not to mention, maybe not all of them,
but this castle has historical significance versus a lot of
people will buy an old house solely based on the
(21:17):
fact that it's an old house, right, It probably doesn't
really have any historical significance outside of the fact of
like maybe a family owned it for one hundred and
fifty years or something to that effect.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
I would love to do that.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
I'd like to move to Scotland and buy a three
hundred year old house.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Yeah, that would be amazing.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
But do you know what I'm saying, Like, I don't
like the idea of like changing castles. To me, it
just feels wrong. I think a castle should naturally decay
because it's made of It's not made of wood, it's
not just going to you know, Bioto grade. It's made
(21:55):
of stone. It will stand the test of time. It
will slowly break down, but it'll take the thousands of
years so long. And I mean this place is like
a lot of Scottish castles. This place is still intact
enough that you can go walk around and walk up
staircases that people did five hundred years ago. Wow, I
(22:16):
got to be honest, I would be I would one
hundred percent shed a deer if I got to walk
into a Scottish castle. Absolutely, there's a specific region where
castles are that I want to go to meet too.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Let's go.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
I want to move there, Dade so bad. Now. Among
the many tales that surround Slain Castle, none are as
captivating as its ghost stories. The most well known of
these is the legend of the White Lady, a spectral
figure said to roam the castle's corridors. Descriptions of the
apparition vary, but she is often depicted as a woman
(22:53):
in flowing white garments, her presence accompanied by an inexplicable
chill in the air. This is the most most common
European ghost story ever. Really white lady. It's always it's
always a ghostly woman.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
I don't know, because I feel like, are we talking
very specific, Like.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
It's always it's always a white lady. And I don't
mean like a white lady, I mean like a white lady. Lad.
It's always the same thing. I don't know if that's
like akin to the fact that like that's how they
dressed back then, or I don't know where it comes from,
but it seems like the white Lady is in a
(23:40):
billion different stories. It's always. Absolutely it's always the white lady,
and they always have the same name, the white Lady.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Maybe it's just one ghost going to millions of places.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
You're going to die one day and you will undoubtedly
become the white Lady.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
I'm very white.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Yes, you you could be mistaken for the White Lady Now. Now,
who was the White Lady now? Some believe she was
a noble woman betrayed by her lover, her tragic and
bringing her spirit to the castle. Others suggest she was
a servant who met an untimely death, her restless soul
(24:20):
unable to find peace. Or whatever her origins, the White
Lady has become an integral part of the castle's lore
and her story, her story passed down through generations. And again,
the reasoning is just like every other one. Yeah, nobody
knows who she is, and it's believed that she was
some kind of like you know, love story or it's
(24:43):
either love story or servant.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Girl or someone who met an untimely end.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
It's always the same, I know, it never ever changes.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
I'm not saying that it's not true. I'm just saying
I've heard the story a thousand times, even as a
little kid, like I used to like go to the
library and I would check out ghost books. I've always
been into ghostuff since I was a child. And in
those books there's usually at least three or four accounts
of a White Lady.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Oh, of course, I mean it's the biggest thing that's
seen heard all the days everywhere.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
It's always the same though, like somebody change damn story,
al Right, give me something.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
But if that's what's happening, that's what's happening.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Yeah, which is why I don't think every single one
of them are telling the truth. The white lady has
to come from somewhere. And I want to say, like, well,
I don't know if that's true, because the the was
the brown Lady of Rayndam Hole, the gray lady, gray
lady whatever, some colored lady of some sort, purple, pink brown.
(25:48):
I don't freaking remember. I wanted to say, like, she's
just the first one I remember reading about. I'm not
going to say she was the first one, that's what
I wanted to say, But she's the first one I
remember reading about. Kid, Okay, I just wish somebody would
make up a damn story or something.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Now.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Over the years, numerous visitors have shared their encounters at
Slain Castle, offering a glimpse into the other worldly experiences
that have defined its reputation. One local actually recalled feeling
an uncanny chill while standing near the castle's entrance, only
to hear faint whispers as they ventured deeper into the ruins.
Another visitor described seeing shadowy figures darting between the crumbling
(26:27):
walls at twilight, an experience that left them questioning all
their senses now. Tour guides have also reported unexplained phenomena
during their tours. One guide recounted a moment when their
flashlight flickered before inexplicably turning off, leaving the group in
total darkness momentarily, and some visitors claim to have captured
(26:47):
ghostly silhouettes in their photographs, while others insist they felt
a strange sensation of being watched even when nobody was around.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Listen the tour guides. I trust the tour guide story Like,
they have to go here frequently, they know the place,
they know the stories, the history, They speak about it
on a daily when they were.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Yeah, but but but you don't like just just to
say you would trust the tour guides. They also want
to bring in business because their business depends on it.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
True. However, I feel like if when it comes to
like ghost encounters and it's people who are kind of
freaked out and like kind of disturbed by it, I
guess those are the people where I'm like, yeah, okay,
like they had something happen. For sure, I would.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Tend to believe the visitors more only for the fact that,
like I would agree with you to the extent of
a tour guide would be the most likely person to
have an experience because they're there so often. Yeah, but
a visitor has nothing to gain from having an experience
where a tour guide does. Okay, So I mean if
(27:57):
a tour guide did claim something and they had something
to back that up with, I would be like, well,
that makes sense. I mean, you're there all the time,
you know, you would be the person I would expect
to have an experience. But if you have nothing, I
mean you do. You are one of the few people
who you know, you do benefit from the tourism absolutely,
(28:17):
because it is your job. The more tourists, the more
you know tours you gotta do. So it makes sense.
That's why the paranormal thing is always so hard, is
because there's always something there to discount it, you know,
like even even if I tell you I've had experiences,
but I mean I can't show you or tell you
so did.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
I absolutely and I get it.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
You know.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
That's the crappy thing about paranormal no. Paranormal enthusiasts have
conducted investigations at the castle, using specialized equipment to record
electromagnetic disturbances and inexplicable sounds. Their findings through inconclusive. Though
inconclusive add to the allure of Slain Castle as a
(29:00):
site teeming with spectral intrigues. So I mean there's even that,
Like you know, ghost hunters have been there and they
didn't like it, but they didn't find much.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
I mean still though, like it's being investigated. It's not
one of those places that we've come across that's like
they don't hold investigations, you know what I mean, like
because we come out.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
I don't think. I don't think it works like that
over there. I don't think it works in the way
like you rent the place out like here. And I
don't think they do ghost tours either. I think you
just kind of show up with your stuff and do
your thing. You're like I'm here, you know, like a
I have a very good friend of mine lives in
England and he makes lots of trips to Scotland, and
(29:43):
from the looks of it, it's not really like you
show up and you pay for a ticket at a booth,
like that's kind of what we're used to here in America.
Oh absolutely, I think you can go on a tour
and they give you the information run down, or you
can just kind of go up in there and walk around.
So cool, you know, because they're not Americans, because American
to destroy everything. Yeah, we suck at it. It's just,
(30:05):
you know, it's just a thing. Slain Castle's haunting ambiance
is believed to have actually inspired Bram Stoker as he
wrote his seminal novel Dracula. So when you think of
the movie Dracula in the Castle, yeah, this was the
inspiration for that.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Shut up, such a big movie. Shut up.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
And there's so many iterations of it, it's freaking crazy.
So Slain Castles it's Dracula's castle.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Dracula actually has a castle.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Though he does, but he doesn't. He doesn't. Dracula didn't exist.
Dracula is based off of woh god, what's his name?
I can't believe I don't remember this. I've learned so
much about him too. But he was another guy who
(30:59):
was known for like he was brutal and he would
like stick his enemies heads and bodies on pikes out
in front of his castle, and they, you know, they
referred to him as something I believe translated to to Dracula,
but he wasn't necessarily the vampire Dracula. Okay, now, oh
(31:20):
my god, what is his name? Dude? I know this,
I don't know. Oh, this is gonna bother me. This
is gonna really bother me. A Stoker visited Cruden Bay
in the late nineteenth century, drawn to the area by
its dramatic landscapes and rich history. Local legend has it
that the castle's imposing silhouette and crumbling walls provided the
(31:42):
blueprint for Count Dracula's eerie abode. So while he while
wish I remember his name, while the other guy was
considered the Dracula, the castle for the story was inspired
by this place. Wow, you know, because Dracula's castle, the
(32:04):
actual one, it's more of like a giant mansion. Are
Vlad the Impaler? Thank you? Vlad the Impaler. I don't
know why I couldn't pull that out. Vlad the Impaler
is the guy that they refer to as like historical Dracula,
and he was a ruthless man. Ruthless I mean when
(32:24):
I said he put people up on Pikes. It was
like through youranus while you were alive, and he would
just let you sit there and die as a warning
to other people, like don't come here. Wow, uh, don't
go there.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
I do not want to meet him.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
No, no, no, doesn't sound like a does not sound
like a fun.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Weekends crossing paths?
Speaker 3 (32:49):
No, thanks, No, I'm good. He don't cross his path,
it'll cross your path and something else. The literary scholars
have noted parallels between the description and Dracula and the
features of Slain Castle, from its cliff side location to
its labyrinthine then what labyrinth like corridors I can't do
(33:09):
I'm obstruct How would labyrinthine? Then labyrinthine? Yep. Whether or
not the connection is definitive, it has cemented the castle's
place in the annals of cultural history, linking it to
one of the most enduring works of Gothic fiction. So
you go walk around here, and you know, you get
(33:31):
to see what inspired Dracula's castle.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
That's amazing.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
I love that. I want to see it. Yeah, there's
another castle that if I can find a haunting connection
to it, will do. But if not, it's just a
place I want to go. It's called Blackness Castle. Oh,
and it's sweet. It is sweet. There's actually castles over
there that let you. They have like a dress up
room and like you can wear like a maiden's outfit
(33:57):
from the time period, and I can, and I could
put on like a suit of and we can just pretend.
Shut up, dude, we're nerds. We'll do it.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
I want to do that.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Today. Slain Castle continues to captivate the imagination of those
who visit. Its ruins offer a blend of historical intrigue
and supernatural allure, making it a must see destination for tourists.
Guided tours delve into the castle's past, weaving together tales
of political drama, architectural innovation, and ghostly encounters. The castle's
(34:29):
location on Scotland's rugged coast adds to its appeal, offering
breathtaking views of the North Sea. Photographers and artists are
drawn to the site, eager to capture its atmospheric beauty,
and for many, a visit to Slain's Castle is both
a journey into history and an exploration into the unknown.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Into the unknown.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
That's Disney. You better not sing Disney on here. Slain
Castle's unique aesthetic has made it a pop popular choice
for filmmakers and writers. Its ruins have served as the
backdrop for documentaries, historical dramas, and fantasy films. They are
evocative presence, enhancing the narratives they support. Writers continue to
find inspiration in the castle's storied history, crafting works that
(35:16):
explore themes of love, loss, and supernatural. Efforts to preserve
Slain Castle are ongoing, which I said, I kind of
on the fence mout with local organizations advocating for its
maintenance and accessibility. These initiatives aim to protect the site
from further deterioration while ensuring the future generations can experience
(35:42):
its magic. Which I get the reasoning it's fine, but
just don't don't fix anything with modern stuff agreed. The
castle stands as a testament to Scotland's rich history heritage,
a place where history and legend converge. A Slain Castle
is more than a ruin. It is a story waiting
to be told. Its walls echo with the voices of
(36:04):
the past, from the laughter of noble gatherings to the
whisper of its ghostly inhabitants. As a beacon of history
and mystery, the castle invites us to explore its many facets,
from its architectural grandeur to its spectral legends. Whether you
were drawn by its historical significance, it's haunting beauty, or
its connection to the paranormal, Slain Castle offers an experience
(36:27):
unlike any other. It's a place where the past lives on,
a reminder of the enduring power of stories to inspire, captivate,
and haunt our imaginations. Now I'm gonna say this, I
found not one review really mentioning paranormal activity, just what
not one, okay, which I find hmmm, quite insane. That's
(36:54):
crazy because I fully expected to find a plethora of
stories right about this and I could not. I could
find lots of reviews that mentioned that they say it's
on it.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
But the lore and the legend of it being haunted
kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Yeah, yeah, like you know, like, oh, this place is amazing.
Would recommend anybody come here, and we hear it's haunted,
that's it.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Okay, Well interesting, It's.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Very interesting because of a lot of places that you
would think of to be haunted. I mean, a five
hundred year old.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Castle definitely be on that list, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
So, I mean, think it for what it is that
doesn't mean anything. We you know, like it we say
it like, you know, like I don't know how to
describe it because I just feel like it's a five
hundred year old castle.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
How could it not be.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
People died here for sure? Yeah, absolutely, generations of family
lived here. Yeah, five hundred years worth. As a matter
are four hundred years worth. That's a long time, so long,
that's going to be like ten generations, fifteen generations, that's
a lot, man, so many.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
And you know, they like they live there in times
where you know, like doctors in medicine, like it just
didn't exist.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
I mean it didn't it did exist, It just didn't
exist in the way that we know it today.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
But there wasn't ways like you catch a cold and
you're gonna die, you know That's what I mean, Like,
oh yeah, like the simplest little coffin sneeze that you
get today.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
I mean, there were plagues like it's just I don't
know if the plague ever went through scotl and I
would have to imagine it did because it went through England.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
It's all part of the United Kingdom. So but yeah,
I was very shocked. I looked at quite a few
different places I saw. I mean, it's got a lot
of reviews, a lot I bet, like, I.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Bet this place is absolutely fantastically amazing, tens of thousands wow.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
And but I had they're actually not all good though.
I think it's those people who, like I think they're
going to go to a castle and it's going to
look like something from a movie that's been dressed up
and everything, and they go there and like, oh, it's ruins. Well, yeah,
it's a five it's a five hundred year old castles.
You know that happens. But are you gonna ask you
a question, Oh, boy, do you think that Slain Castle
(39:24):
is haunted?
Speaker 2 (39:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
Well, you better figure it out.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
I want to be like, yeah, absolutely, But there's there's
nothing to say that. It is like there's a legend
and a lore kind of story, which great. I love that.
I love those kinds of stories.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
I mean, it wouldn't be the first time that we've
come across a story that's basically all just legend and lore.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
I know, I I'm going to say no. However, I
feel like there is absolutely a possibility that there's definitely
some stuff going on here. But I just don't have
enough to be like, yeah, absolutely, I think it's haunted. Yeah,
So what about you.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
I'm gonna say, yeah, okay, because I do not believe
for one minute that if we believe anything's haunted, that
a five hundred year old castle wouldn't have something of
four hundred years of the same family. You don't. I
just won't believe that if something is able to stick around,
somebody didn't stick around. Not to mention, there's there's a
(40:33):
million stories that will never know that nobody will ever
know that took place inside those walls, and in a
time of like nobles and kings and you know, like
political and religious turmoil, people were probably executed in there.
I I just, yeah, I do think. I'm not going
(40:53):
to say I think the White Lady is real because
I've just heard it so many freaking times now, but
I I, well, I would like to believe that, yes,
there is probably something that is going on there.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
I agree. I'm however, going off of fact in research.
So I mean, there's you arguing.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
About the tour the tour guide said it.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
I mean, yeah, sure, I don't know. I don't know, man,
I don't know. I would definitely love either way.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
Either way, it seems like a place that I.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Would like to go visit absolute.
Speaker 3 (41:33):
No matter what it is. It is on my my
bucket list of places to visit, along with Blackness Castle. Honestly,
most of my bucket list places I could I could
do all in to Scotland, Scotland and Ireland and I'm
pretty good yep. When I was younger, I definitely wanted
to go to where's the place you can Amsterdam? Oh yeah, yeah,
(42:00):
I'm older now, so that ship kind of sailed. Not
that I couldn't do it now. I just don't do
that stuff anymore. But where can they find us?

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Hey everybody, and welcome back to four the.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
For the Boom. We're back us. We're back currently on
the tube of you recording this episode and we are
going to be leaving the US this week for our episode.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
So somewhere I have always wanted to visit, not more
than me, I know.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
I know.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
I've been doing a lot of family research as I
do quite often. Don't ask why, it's just but.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
He doesn't do that for me.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
You're French, God, you should not want to know. Anyways,
I do this a lot. It's become like a hobby
of mine over the last like ten years. But I
was looking up stuff in and around kind of where
my family comes from, and it is in Scotland and
(01:40):
it's a castle, and I just thought it would be
cool to do something. You know, we always we mainly
focus on the US because it's where we live, but we,
you know, got to do some stuff out of the
country now and then we've done some Canada, We've done Ireland.
I think we did. We do England. Yeah, what did
we do in England? The rams head in That's right,
we did, man, it was a while ago. That was
(02:02):
a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I can't believe I just pulled that out.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
That was a couple of because we did that right
before we left Florida. I feel like my mic stand
is going down, is it not? I don't know. I
feel like I'm feel like I'm all super hunched over.
So yeah, we're gonna do I'm going to try to
like integrate some more out of the country things. Sometimes
information's harder to find, because I remember a long time
(02:30):
ago I tried to do an episode about the orphanage
where John Lennon we grew up, or I think that's
what it was. And because they don't have there's not
so much like free they in England. They keep their
information more into wraps. Like here you can just go
look somebody up and find their whole record. Over there,
it's not like that, so it was much harder to find.
(02:52):
But anything that I can find that we have enough
information on, I'd like to do an episode. Oh, we
also did the hell Fire Caves and the house I
can't remember the name of the house that was. I
loved that episode. That was one of my So we're
going to be doing a place called slain Castle, and
if I'm I'm going one hundred percent. I'm going to
(03:13):
mispronounce some words in here because some of them are,
like you know, they're Gaelic based words, and I don't
speak Gaelic, so I'm definitely going to ruin some of this.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
That would be cool, though we speak Gaelic.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I remember when I said I wanted to learn to
speak Gaelic and you were like, why.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Well, nobody speaks it.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I feel like there's a whole nation of people.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I understand you talking about, but like it's not a
common language in America, is what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I don't care about that. I just want to learn.
I want to learn as much about my heritage as
I can. And my family comes originally from Scotland, from Perth, Scotland,
and then the later generations like the other side. All right,
so my great grandmother my immigrated from Dublin to America,
(04:01):
but it's the other side that comes from Scotland, so
we're scott Irish in my family. But you know whatever. Anyways,
we're going to do Slain Castle that. There's a whole
bunch of castles over there I'd like to do.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I just want to visit a castle so bad.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I saw one once in Bellevue, Florida. It was just
a house. It looked like a castle.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I think you dropped me by that once.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
I did, Yeah, a long time ago. It was really cool.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
It was really cool. I saw a house had like
turrets and everything.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Crazy, it has a drawbridge?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
What? Yeah, it has a draw bridge. Stop it some
eccentric wretch person who moved to BF. But what do
you say we get into this. I don't know how
long of an episode this is going to turn out
to be, because again, you can only get popular information basically,
so we'll do our best. A Cruden Bay, located near
(04:51):
slain Castle, is a picturesque village that continues to charm
visitors with its serene environment and welcoming community, and today
the town thrive as a peaceful retreat for locals and
tourists so like offering breathtaking views of the North Sea,
rolling dunes, and a sandy beach ideal for leisurely walks.
It's small yet lively center boast boutique shops, art galleries
(05:13):
and cafes, creating a blend of modern comforts within the
historical setting. Now, I watch a lot of reels about
Scotland and this pretty much could summarize all of Scotland. Yeah,
it is. It is like you're walking around in the
thirteen hundred's with modern stuff. I love it.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I don't know how. I don't know how anybody could
live over there and not like it. Like I don't
understand their politics or you know, maybe the cost of living.
I don't understand all that because I don't live there.
But I know, just visually, you could send me out
to live in the middle of a field with the
decent sized tent and I'd be happy. It's amazing. There's
(05:55):
nothing there that I've seen that doesn't look incredible. There
is not a view to be had that sucks. Agreed,
just walking down the street. I know, even their little
coastal villages are amazing. Like there's just nothing bad about it.
I mean maybe it's people. I don't know. I don't know,
but I want to go. I want to live there
(06:15):
one day now. The village is particularly famous for its
celebrated golf course, ranked amongst Scotland's finest, which draws players
from all over the world. Cruden Bay's harbor remains a
focal point, HARKing back to its roots and fishing, while
now serving as a dock for recreational boating and maritime exploration.
The modern day fusion of history, natural beauty, and local
(06:36):
warmth makes Cruden Bay a perfect starting point for any
journey to nearby Slain Castle. Just as stones throw away
from Slain's Castle lies the idyllic village of cruden Bay,
a place steeped in its own fascinating history. The town's
name is believed to derive from the Gaelic this is
(06:56):
I'm gonna mess this up because I want to call it.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Croach.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
I don't I think it's krush Dane, Okay, I think
I've been trying to learn some Gaelic care in there,
translating to slaughter of Danes because the Vikings came here,
a reference to the Battle of cruden Bay that took
place in the eleventh century. Now, this bloody confrontation saw
Scottish forces repelling Viking invaders, solidifying the region's role in
(07:25):
defending the nation's sovereignty. In later centuries, Cruden Bay evolved
into a thriving fishing village, with its proximity to the
North Sea providing ample opportunities for trade and sustenance. The
harbor became a hub for exploring or exporting goods like
cured herring and shellfish, bolstering the local economy and fostering
(07:48):
connections with other coastal communities. And we got to mention, hagis,
would you try, hagis, I wouldn't need it?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (07:57):
It's like, I forget, I know, I only know a
few things that are in it, don't I know. It's
like oatmeal, some other meats and stuff, and it's like
baked into the lining of a sheep's stomach.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Absolutely not. It's disgusting, absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
And people say it's gross.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Abbot, but it's you know, that sounds disgusting.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Not a chance, not a chance that I would put
that into my face.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Nop.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
It looks awful.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
No, thank you well.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
By the nineteenth century, Cruden Bay had established itself as
a retreat for the wealthy, drawing visitors enchanted by its
serene landscape and invigorating sea air. The construction of the
railway in the late eighteen hundreds further boosted tourism, transforming
the village into a fashionable destination. Hotels and guesthouses sprang
(08:47):
up to accommodate travelers. Including bram Stoker, who found inspiration
in the area's haunting beauty. You know the name bram Stoker. Today,
cruden Bay's history is celebrated through local festivals and community events,
ensuring that its legacy continues to thrive alongside the echoes
of Slain Castle. I am going to say, I don't
(09:10):
want to give too much away, but there is a
connection to Stoker in this, like like bram Stoker's Dracula.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah, we'll get.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
To it, but yes, there's a connection here.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Stop it.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
It's cool. It's one of the reasons I wanted to
do this. Wow A. Cruden Bay's natural beauty is one
of its biggest draws. The village is surrounded by rolling
dunes and pristine beaches that stretch for miles, offering a
tranquil setting for all visitors. It's seen at golf course,
ranked among the best in Scotland, is another highlight, attracting
(09:47):
players from around the world. To say that you have
one of the best golf courses in Scotland. Is that's big.
That's where golf was invented. Yeah, wow, And you know,
like I can honestly say I've never heard of cruden
Bay's golf course. I've heard of Edinburgh's because that's where
(10:08):
it started. M m. But to be like, I have
the best, we have the best golf course in all
of Scotland. Like I don't even know how to like,
uh conceptualize us with something else. It's like, I don't know.
It's it's a big claim. It's a really big claim.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Because it's the birthplace of this thing and you have
the best. It is crazy. Now. Art galleries, boutique shops
and cozy cafes add to the town's charm, providing an
inviting atmosphere for tourists exploring the region, and it's not uncommon.
It's not uncommon for visitors to pair their trip to
slain Castle with a leisurely day in Cruden Bay, enjoying
(10:48):
its blend of historical intrigue and contemporary pleasures okay, pleasures.
Now Nestled amidst the rugged northeastern coastline of Scotland, slain
Castle stands as an enduring monument to centuries of history.
Its grand architecture, set against a backdrop of windswept cliffs
and crashing waves, is imbued with a haunting beauty that
(11:12):
has captured the imaginations for generations. This Scottish landmark is
not merely a relic of the past. It is a
living story, rich with tales of political intrigue, artistic inspiration
and ghostly apparitions. Hey, the Slain Castle's origins date back
to the sixteenth century, so we're talking fifteen hundreds, a
(11:36):
time when Scotland was rife with territorial disputes and shifting allegiances. Now,
the castle was built by the Earls of Errol, powerful
members of the Hay family who sought to establish their
dominance along the Northeast coast. I'm figuring this is the
northeast coast. It has to be like a major trade
(11:57):
route or something to that effect, because it seems like
an important area. Okay, Now, overlooking Cruden Bay, the original
towerhouse was strategically designed to monitor maritime activities and defend
against potential threats. One of the most remarkable figures associated
with Slain Castle is George Hay, the seventh Earl of Errol,
(12:21):
known for his loyalty to King James. That's six right, Yes,
I suck at this. Hay played a key role in
securing the King's visit the Slain Castle in fifteen ninety four,
a moment that elevated the estate's importance in Scotland's political landscape.
Hay was a staunch Catholic during a time of religious turbulence,
(12:43):
and his ability to navigate these challenges solidified his legacy
as a skilled diplomat. Not merely a military stronghold, the
castle also served as a residence for the Hayes. Local
villagers often spoke of the castle as a beacon of
both protection and authority, its towering presence inspiring equal parts
(13:05):
admiration and awe. Look, this is this castle. Super cool?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I bet it's a freaking castle.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Yeah, but it's just I don't know how to describe it.
It's because of its connection to something else. It makes
it look cooler to me, okay, And like, I just
don't know how to put it into where it's because
don't want to be.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Like it's this well, all right, continue on.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
As the century is unfolded, Slain Castle became embroiled in
the political mechanation machinate gees, I'm tired in the political
machinations of Scotland's complex history, and during the late sixteenth century,
its role in the Catholic resistance against Protestant rule placed
its owner in a precarious position. Now, the Hayes were
(14:03):
staunch Catholics, and their allegiance to the monarchy often placed
them at odds with other factions, which is pretty common
for this time period. Another notable figure is Charles Edward Stewart,
famously known as Bonnie Prince Charlie. Though not directly associated
with the castle, the Hayes' support for the Jacobite cause
(14:24):
during his uprising in the eighteenth century links Slain's Castle
to one of Scotland's most romanticized historical narratives. The castle
halls are said to have hosted secret gatherings of Jacobite supporters,
their plans cloaked in mystery. Now, if the Jacobite army
(14:45):
was were people who followed a certain king of the
time and were trying to, like fight to I guess
put them in power. I don't believe they ever succeeded,
but I do believe, Like if you watch the movie
bray Heart, that's what they're fighting.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Oh okay, okay.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Okay, now they're fighting for it.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
I'm not going to claim to know a lot about
any of us, because I don't, but I get where
you're going with that, because I've definitely seen the movie.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
I love that movie.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I know, it's such a good movie.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
It is one of my favorite movies ever.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
It is so good.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
But yeah, so my family history has some Jacobites. Jacobites good.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I like it.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
It's like centabite if anybody knows the reference. Beyond its
political engagements, the castle also played a role in shaping
local governance. The Earls of Errol were known to mediate
disputes among neighboring clans, utilizing their influence to maintain peace
in the area. The legacy of leadership is still remembered
(15:53):
in the folk folklore of Cruden Bay, where tales of
the Hayes diplomacy diplomacy, I can't do this today are
recounted with reverence. So this is a very notable historic place,
which is probably why it still stands today. And it's still,
you know, like such a big landmark. A lot of
stuff happened here. Then, the nineteenth century heralded a new
(16:17):
chapter for Slain Castle as it underwent a dramatic transformation
under the stewardship of architect John Smith. It's not the
John Smith that we know from American history. Either, Okay,
I don't think maybe it is. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
That'd be kind of crazy, so.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
It would make sense for him d also be English.
I think he was English, wasn't? He was absolutely known
for his work on Balmoral Castle. Smith brought a Gothic
revival sensibility to Slain, enhancing its grandeur with crenelated. I
don't even know what that word crenelated. Come on, help
me out here.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I have no idea. You don't look at me.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Crenolated parapets, pointed arches and imposing facades. I'm gonna have
to figure out what that means. Crenelated. Let us know
if you know what that means. Smith's redesign turned the
castle into a stately residence that reflected the esthetic ideals
of the time. The interiors were equally impressive, boasting ornate
(17:16):
would work, sweeping staircases, and opulent furnishings. For a time,
the castle thrived as a social and cultural hub, attracting
visitors from across Scotland and beyond. Yet the early twentieth
century saw the castle's declined. Financial difficulties forced the Hayes
to sell the estate. I want to stop in the
(17:38):
middle of the sentence to point this out. Okay, the
Hayes are selling this in the nineteen twenties, who have
owned it since the fifteen hundreds. Yeah, dude, wild stuff
like that in America. No, I mean America's relatively hasn't
even there won't be in America for quite a while
when this castle is, you know, owned by the Hayes.
But I that bag the miner light. But that's a light.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
That's a lot.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
That's a light a long time.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
But it's crazy, dude, that's wild.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
That's what fifteen sixteenes, that's four hundred years. That's insane.
Slain Castle had been abandoned now it's it was by
the nineteen twenties that had been abandoned. I couldn't remember
if I stopped so suddenly because I was so amazed
that they owned it for four hundred years, so long.
It's once grand halls fell into ruin and nature began
(18:27):
to reclaim the structure. Today, the castle's weathered stones tell
a story of both splendor and decay, inviting visitors to
ponder the passage of time. Despite its ruinous state, Slain
Castle's architectural significance remains a source of fascination. Local historians
have meticulously documented its features, using archival drawings and photographs
(18:53):
to preserve its legacy. Efforts to stabilize the ruins are ongoing,
with conservationalists advocating for the castle's importance as a cultural treasure.
The castle, it looks probably like what you think it's.
It looks like a castle ruin like a castle. But
I don't want I mean, I'm not scott I won't
(19:13):
I don't live in Scotland. I would hope that they
wouldn't try to renovate it. I think it looks cool
and it and it's natural and its decay from the
but how many what is that? Five hundred years?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
So long?
Speaker 3 (19:33):
So long? Five hundred years? Like enjoy it while it
stands on its own.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
I don't know, though, because I feel like something you can.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Renovation and preservation are two different things. You can preserve
the spot without changing things.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
But to to renovate, to me feels wrong because to renovate, yeah,
you're making it look like it did, but you're you're
using modern things.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
So it's not true. It's not true history. Yeah, history
and all the architecture of the time.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
It would be like it would be like this if
you bought a Model T Forward and put a Nissan
three fifty Z motor in it. No, but that's what
I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
I mean technically the car is you know, it's restored
and drivable, it's more modern, but it's not the same. Yeah,
So I don't like it personally when and unless it's
like an old, like I don't know, nineteenth century house,
and you can recreate the way things were made and
(20:39):
tapestries and things like that, you know would work. But
we're talking about a castle. Yeah, this is different.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
It's definitely different than the historical houses and things like that.
I love when people buy historical houses and just kind
of redo them but keep a lot of the charm
from them.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
And but okay, another thing, though, is a historical house
is going to be a lot differ than a castle. Yeah, right,
because and not to mention, maybe not all of them,
but this castle has historical significance versus a lot of
people will buy an old house solely based on the
(21:17):
fact that it's an old house, right, It probably doesn't
really have any historical significance outside of the fact of
like maybe a family owned it for one hundred and
fifty years or something to that effect.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
I would love to do that.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
I'd like to move to Scotland and buy a three
hundred year old house.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Yeah, that would be amazing.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
But do you know what I'm saying, Like, I don't
like the idea of like changing castles. To me, it
just feels wrong. I think a castle should naturally decay
because it's made of It's not made of wood, it's
not just going to you know, Bioto grade. It's made
(21:55):
of stone. It will stand the test of time. It
will slowly break down, but it'll take the thousands of
years so long. And I mean this place is like
a lot of Scottish castles. This place is still intact
enough that you can go walk around and walk up
staircases that people did five hundred years ago. Wow, I
(22:16):
got to be honest, I would be I would one
hundred percent shed a deer if I got to walk
into a Scottish castle. Absolutely, there's a specific region where
castles are that I want to go to meet too.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Let's go.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
I want to move there, Dade so bad. Now. Among
the many tales that surround Slain Castle, none are as
captivating as its ghost stories. The most well known of
these is the legend of the White Lady, a spectral
figure said to roam the castle's corridors. Descriptions of the
apparition vary, but she is often depicted as a woman
(22:53):
in flowing white garments, her presence accompanied by an inexplicable
chill in the air. This is the most most common
European ghost story ever. Really white lady. It's always it's
always a ghostly woman.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
I don't know, because I feel like, are we talking
very specific, Like.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
It's always it's always a white lady. And I don't
mean like a white lady, I mean like a white lady. Lad.
It's always the same thing. I don't know if that's
like akin to the fact that like that's how they
dressed back then, or I don't know where it comes from,
but it seems like the white Lady is in a
(23:40):
billion different stories. It's always. Absolutely it's always the white lady,
and they always have the same name, the white Lady.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Maybe it's just one ghost going to millions of places.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
You're going to die one day and you will undoubtedly
become the white Lady.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
I'm very white.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Yes, you you could be mistaken for the White Lady Now. Now,
who was the White Lady now? Some believe she was
a noble woman betrayed by her lover, her tragic and
bringing her spirit to the castle. Others suggest she was
a servant who met an untimely death, her restless soul
(24:20):
unable to find peace. Or whatever her origins, the White
Lady has become an integral part of the castle's lore
and her story, her story passed down through generations. And again,
the reasoning is just like every other one. Yeah, nobody
knows who she is, and it's believed that she was
some kind of like you know, love story or it's
(24:43):
either love story or servant.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Girl or someone who met an untimely end.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
It's always the same, I know, it never ever changes.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
I'm not saying that it's not true. I'm just saying
I've heard the story a thousand times, even as a
little kid, like I used to like go to the
library and I would check out ghost books. I've always
been into ghostuff since I was a child. And in
those books there's usually at least three or four accounts
of a White Lady.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Oh, of course, I mean it's the biggest thing that's
seen heard all the days everywhere.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
It's always the same though, like somebody change damn story,
al Right, give me something.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
But if that's what's happening, that's what's happening.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Yeah, which is why I don't think every single one
of them are telling the truth. The white lady has
to come from somewhere. And I want to say, like, well,
I don't know if that's true, because the the was
the brown Lady of Rayndam Hole, the gray lady, gray
lady whatever, some colored lady of some sort, purple, pink brown.
(25:48):
I don't freaking remember. I wanted to say, like, she's
just the first one I remember reading about. I'm not
going to say she was the first one, that's what
I wanted to say, But she's the first one I
remember reading about. Kid, Okay, I just wish somebody would
make up a damn story or something.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Now.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Over the years, numerous visitors have shared their encounters at
Slain Castle, offering a glimpse into the other worldly experiences
that have defined its reputation. One local actually recalled feeling
an uncanny chill while standing near the castle's entrance, only
to hear faint whispers as they ventured deeper into the ruins.
Another visitor described seeing shadowy figures darting between the crumbling
(26:27):
walls at twilight, an experience that left them questioning all
their senses now. Tour guides have also reported unexplained phenomena
during their tours. One guide recounted a moment when their
flashlight flickered before inexplicably turning off, leaving the group in
total darkness momentarily, and some visitors claim to have captured
(26:47):
ghostly silhouettes in their photographs, while others insist they felt
a strange sensation of being watched even when nobody was around.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Listen the tour guides. I trust the tour guide story Like,
they have to go here frequently, they know the place,
they know the stories, the history, They speak about it
on a daily when they were.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Yeah, but but but you don't like just just to
say you would trust the tour guides. They also want
to bring in business because their business depends on it.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
True. However, I feel like if when it comes to
like ghost encounters and it's people who are kind of
freaked out and like kind of disturbed by it, I
guess those are the people where I'm like, yeah, okay,
like they had something happen. For sure, I would.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Tend to believe the visitors more only for the fact that,
like I would agree with you to the extent of
a tour guide would be the most likely person to
have an experience because they're there so often. Yeah, but
a visitor has nothing to gain from having an experience
where a tour guide does. Okay, So I mean if
(27:57):
a tour guide did claim something and they had something
to back that up with, I would be like, well,
that makes sense. I mean, you're there all the time,
you know, you would be the person I would expect
to have an experience. But if you have nothing, I
mean you do. You are one of the few people
who you know, you do benefit from the tourism absolutely,
(28:17):
because it is your job. The more tourists, the more
you know tours you gotta do. So it makes sense.
That's why the paranormal thing is always so hard, is
because there's always something there to discount it, you know,
like even even if I tell you I've had experiences,
but I mean I can't show you or tell you
so did.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
I absolutely and I get it.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
You know.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
That's the crappy thing about paranormal no. Paranormal enthusiasts have
conducted investigations at the castle, using specialized equipment to record
electromagnetic disturbances and inexplicable sounds. Their findings through inconclusive. Though
inconclusive add to the allure of Slain Castle as a
(29:00):
site teeming with spectral intrigues. So I mean there's even that,
Like you know, ghost hunters have been there and they
didn't like it, but they didn't find much.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
I mean still though, like it's being investigated. It's not
one of those places that we've come across that's like
they don't hold investigations, you know what I mean, like
because we come out.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
I don't think. I don't think it works like that
over there. I don't think it works in the way
like you rent the place out like here. And I
don't think they do ghost tours either. I think you
just kind of show up with your stuff and do
your thing. You're like I'm here, you know, like a
I have a very good friend of mine lives in
England and he makes lots of trips to Scotland, and
(29:43):
from the looks of it, it's not really like you
show up and you pay for a ticket at a booth,
like that's kind of what we're used to here in America.
Oh absolutely, I think you can go on a tour
and they give you the information run down, or you
can just kind of go up in there and walk around.
So cool, you know, because they're not Americans, because American
to destroy everything. Yeah, we suck at it. It's just,
(30:05):
you know, it's just a thing. Slain Castle's haunting ambiance
is believed to have actually inspired Bram Stoker as he
wrote his seminal novel Dracula. So when you think of
the movie Dracula in the Castle, yeah, this was the
inspiration for that.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Shut up, such a big movie. Shut up.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
And there's so many iterations of it, it's freaking crazy.
So Slain Castles it's Dracula's castle.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Dracula actually has a castle.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Though he does, but he doesn't. He doesn't. Dracula didn't exist.
Dracula is based off of woh god, what's his name?
I can't believe I don't remember this. I've learned so
much about him too. But he was another guy who
(30:59):
was known for like he was brutal and he would
like stick his enemies heads and bodies on pikes out
in front of his castle, and they, you know, they
referred to him as something I believe translated to to Dracula,
but he wasn't necessarily the vampire Dracula. Okay, now, oh
(31:20):
my god, what is his name? Dude? I know this,
I don't know. Oh, this is gonna bother me. This
is gonna really bother me. A Stoker visited Cruden Bay
in the late nineteenth century, drawn to the area by
its dramatic landscapes and rich history. Local legend has it
that the castle's imposing silhouette and crumbling walls provided the
(31:42):
blueprint for Count Dracula's eerie abode. So while he while
wish I remember his name, while the other guy was
considered the Dracula, the castle for the story was inspired
by this place. Wow, you know, because Dracula's castle, the
(32:04):
actual one, it's more of like a giant mansion. Are
Vlad the Impaler? Thank you? Vlad the Impaler. I don't
know why I couldn't pull that out. Vlad the Impaler
is the guy that they refer to as like historical Dracula,
and he was a ruthless man. Ruthless I mean when
(32:24):
I said he put people up on Pikes. It was
like through youranus while you were alive, and he would
just let you sit there and die as a warning
to other people, like don't come here. Wow, uh, don't
go there.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
I do not want to meet him.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
No, no, no, doesn't sound like a does not sound
like a fun.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Weekends crossing paths?
Speaker 3 (32:49):
No, thanks, No, I'm good. He don't cross his path,
it'll cross your path and something else. The literary scholars
have noted parallels between the description and Dracula and the
features of Slain Castle, from its cliff side location to
its labyrinthine then what labyrinth like corridors I can't do
(33:09):
I'm obstruct How would labyrinthine? Then labyrinthine? Yep. Whether or
not the connection is definitive, it has cemented the castle's
place in the annals of cultural history, linking it to
one of the most enduring works of Gothic fiction. So
you go walk around here, and you know, you get
(33:31):
to see what inspired Dracula's castle.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
That's amazing.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
I love that. I want to see it. Yeah, there's
another castle that if I can find a haunting connection
to it, will do. But if not, it's just a
place I want to go. It's called Blackness Castle. Oh,
and it's sweet. It is sweet. There's actually castles over
there that let you. They have like a dress up
room and like you can wear like a maiden's outfit
(33:57):
from the time period, and I can, and I could
put on like a suit of and we can just pretend.
Shut up, dude, we're nerds. We'll do it.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
I want to do that.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Today. Slain Castle continues to captivate the imagination of those
who visit. Its ruins offer a blend of historical intrigue
and supernatural allure, making it a must see destination for tourists.
Guided tours delve into the castle's past, weaving together tales
of political drama, architectural innovation, and ghostly encounters. The castle's
(34:29):
location on Scotland's rugged coast adds to its appeal, offering
breathtaking views of the North Sea. Photographers and artists are
drawn to the site, eager to capture its atmospheric beauty,
and for many, a visit to Slain's Castle is both
a journey into history and an exploration into the unknown.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Into the unknown.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
That's Disney. You better not sing Disney on here. Slain
Castle's unique aesthetic has made it a pop popular choice
for filmmakers and writers. Its ruins have served as the
backdrop for documentaries, historical dramas, and fantasy films. They are
evocative presence, enhancing the narratives they support. Writers continue to
find inspiration in the castle's storied history, crafting works that
(35:16):
explore themes of love, loss, and supernatural. Efforts to preserve
Slain Castle are ongoing, which I said, I kind of
on the fence mout with local organizations advocating for its
maintenance and accessibility. These initiatives aim to protect the site
from further deterioration while ensuring the future generations can experience
(35:42):
its magic. Which I get the reasoning it's fine, but
just don't don't fix anything with modern stuff agreed. The
castle stands as a testament to Scotland's rich history heritage,
a place where history and legend converge. A Slain Castle
is more than a ruin. It is a story waiting
to be told. Its walls echo with the voices of
(36:04):
the past, from the laughter of noble gatherings to the
whisper of its ghostly inhabitants. As a beacon of history
and mystery, the castle invites us to explore its many facets,
from its architectural grandeur to its spectral legends. Whether you
were drawn by its historical significance, it's haunting beauty, or
its connection to the paranormal, Slain Castle offers an experience
(36:27):
unlike any other. It's a place where the past lives on,
a reminder of the enduring power of stories to inspire, captivate,
and haunt our imaginations. Now I'm gonna say this, I
found not one review really mentioning paranormal activity, just what
not one, okay, which I find hmmm, quite insane. That's
(36:54):
crazy because I fully expected to find a plethora of
stories right about this and I could not. I could
find lots of reviews that mentioned that they say it's
on it.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
But the lore and the legend of it being haunted
kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Yeah, yeah, like you know, like, oh, this place is amazing.
Would recommend anybody come here, and we hear it's haunted,
that's it.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Okay, Well interesting, It's.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Very interesting because of a lot of places that you
would think of to be haunted. I mean, a five
hundred year old.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Castle definitely be on that list, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
So, I mean, think it for what it is that
doesn't mean anything. We you know, like it we say
it like, you know, like I don't know how to
describe it because I just feel like it's a five
hundred year old castle.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
How could it not be.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
People died here for sure? Yeah, absolutely, generations of family
lived here. Yeah, five hundred years worth. As a matter
are four hundred years worth. That's a long time, so long,
that's going to be like ten generations, fifteen generations, that's
a lot, man, so many.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
And you know, they like they live there in times
where you know, like doctors in medicine, like it just
didn't exist.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
I mean it didn't it did exist, It just didn't
exist in the way that we know it today.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
But there wasn't ways like you catch a cold and
you're gonna die, you know That's what I mean, Like,
oh yeah, like the simplest little coffin sneeze that you
get today.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
I mean, there were plagues like it's just I don't
know if the plague ever went through scotl and I
would have to imagine it did because it went through England.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
It's all part of the United Kingdom. So but yeah,
I was very shocked. I looked at quite a few
different places I saw. I mean, it's got a lot
of reviews, a lot I bet, like, I.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Bet this place is absolutely fantastically amazing, tens of thousands wow.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
And but I had they're actually not all good though.
I think it's those people who, like I think they're
going to go to a castle and it's going to
look like something from a movie that's been dressed up
and everything, and they go there and like, oh, it's ruins. Well, yeah,
it's a five it's a five hundred year old castles.
You know that happens. But are you gonna ask you
a question, Oh, boy, do you think that Slain Castle
(39:24):
is haunted?
Speaker 2 (39:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
Well, you better figure it out.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
I want to be like, yeah, absolutely, But there's there's
nothing to say that. It is like there's a legend
and a lore kind of story, which great. I love that.
I love those kinds of stories.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
I mean, it wouldn't be the first time that we've
come across a story that's basically all just legend and lore.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
I know, I I'm going to say no. However, I
feel like there is absolutely a possibility that there's definitely
some stuff going on here. But I just don't have
enough to be like, yeah, absolutely, I think it's haunted. Yeah,
So what about you.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
I'm gonna say, yeah, okay, because I do not believe
for one minute that if we believe anything's haunted, that
a five hundred year old castle wouldn't have something of
four hundred years of the same family. You don't. I
just won't believe that if something is able to stick around,
somebody didn't stick around. Not to mention, there's there's a
(40:33):
million stories that will never know that nobody will ever
know that took place inside those walls, and in a
time of like nobles and kings and you know, like
political and religious turmoil, people were probably executed in there.
I I just, yeah, I do think. I'm not going
(40:53):
to say I think the White Lady is real because
I've just heard it so many freaking times now, but
I I, well, I would like to believe that, yes,
there is probably something that is going on there.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
I agree. I'm however, going off of fact in research.
So I mean, there's you arguing.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
About the tour the tour guide said it.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
I mean, yeah, sure, I don't know. I don't know, man,
I don't know. I would definitely love either way.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
Either way, it seems like a place that I.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Would like to go visit absolute.
Speaker 3 (41:33):
No matter what it is. It is on my my
bucket list of places to visit, along with Blackness Castle. Honestly,
most of my bucket list places I could I could
do all in to Scotland, Scotland and Ireland and I'm
pretty good yep. When I was younger, I definitely wanted
to go to where's the place you can Amsterdam? Oh yeah, yeah,
