'''Scotland''' is a constituent country of the United Kingdom, with one of the richest paranormal folklore traditions in Europe, centred heavily on the historic vaults and graveyards of Edinburgh.
[[Category:Locations by Geography]]
 
== The Mackenzie Poltergeist ==
Greyfriars Kirkyard in Edinburgh, a graveyard dating to the 16th century, is home to what is often described as the most extensively documented poltergeist case in the world — the Mackenzie Poltergeist, attributed to Sir George Mackenzie, the 17th-century Lord Advocate known as "Bluidy Mackenzie" for his brutal persecution of the Covenanters, over a thousand of whom he had imprisoned in appalling conditions in a field adjoining the kirkyard.
 
Mackenzie's own mausoleum, the "Black Mausoleum," stands within the kirkyard. In 1999, a homeless man reportedly broke into the tomb seeking shelter and fell through into an underlying plague pit; in the aftermath, hundreds of visitors began reporting scratches, bite marks, burns, and sudden fainting spells near the mausoleum. Reports of activity continued strongly enough that Edinburgh City Council eventually sealed the mausoleum and restricted access to only guided tours.
 
== The South Bridge Vaults ==
Beneath Edinburgh's South Bridge lies a network of vaults, once used to house the city's poorest residents alongside smuggling and grave-robbing activity, and now regularly cited as one of the most haunted locations in the UK. Reported phenomena include a "faceless man" and numerous other disturbances documented by paranormal investigators over the years.
 
== Glamis Castle ==
Glamis Castle in Angus is associated with several enduring legends, including "the Monster of Glamis" — said to be a deformed heir to the Earldom of Strathmore, hidden from public knowledge — and the "White Lady," a female apparition reported wandering the castle's grounds.
