Edinburgh Castle is one of the most haunted places in Scotland. The castle is connected to the city’s most famous street, the Royal Mile, by a network of underground tunnels. Several hundred years ago a piper sent to explore them was told to keep playing so his progress could be tracked. But halfway down the Royal Mile the music suddenly stopped. When a rescue party was sent the piper had vanished.
The piper still haunts the Royal Mile and his eerie music can sometimes be heard from within the castle. (The Sun Tuesday 26 August 2008)
