The Haunted Castle Tour

By day a scene of romantic beauty, yet by night a dark, forbidding place. Join us as we explore Castle Menzies, a location steeped in the history, superstition and lore of the highland Clans and their bloodsoaked lands. Hear haunting tales of it’s dark history and restless spirits - who often like to make their presence felt! You may even meet them before the night is through.....

Since 2006, our 'Haunted Tours' have thrilled and intrigued many a believer and sceptic alike with our unique combination of storytelling in a spooky, historic location and the use of handheld ghosthunting equipment. What better way to bring the past to life?

As seen on TV in Susan Calman's Grand Days Out, Spooked Scotland and Dutch YouTube channel StukTV!

We pride ourselves in giving visitors a genuine experience, so have absolutely NO 'jumper-ooters' waiting in the dark corridors to frighten our guests or rattle chains!

We'd love you to join us.....if you feel brave enough...

We often have a small selection of gifts as well as our books, gift vouchers and merchandise on sale, so please feel free to browse.

FAQs

Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?

Although we only allow12yrs+, we always maintain that you know the child better than we do, some 14yr olds may hide behind the sofa during Dr Who, while a 12yr old will laugh in the face of a Dalek! Please take this into consideration when purchasing a child's ticket.

Please note that children may get cold or scared. If so please think about other paying guests on the tour and of your child's welfare. If the tour is already underway tickets cannot be refunded. If our guide or the castle manager feel that your child is too frightened, you will be asked to leave as we have no desire to traumatise any minors. You will also be required to give your child a treat of their choice!

Children under 16yrs must be accompanied by a responsible adult (18yrs+).

What are my transport/parking options for getting to and from the event?

Castle Menzies, stands in Weem, a couple of miles from Aberfeldy, Perthshire. It is easily accessible by car or bicycle with parking onsite and for those inclined, it is a beautiful walk if you leave plenty of time!

What can I bring into the event?

A limited amount of candles will be provided but guests are welcome to bring their own torches as long as they are switched off during storytelling.

We are happy for photographs to be taken throughout the event but please refrain during the stories as it can be quite distracting.

If you fancy yourself as the next Yvette Fielding or Maurice Grosse, you are welcome to bring any handheld equipment such as EMF meters, thermometers and cameras, however, we ask that they are used during the allocated points in the tour.

If you do wish to use any type of recording equipment (audio or video) please inform your guide and switch them off during each story.
