Summary
The town of Inveraray in Scotland holds one of the most famous castles in Scotland and a jail from the 1800s that was one of the most modern jails for its time, making this the perfect spot for those seeking history with haunts. Nearby Loch Fyne attracted a long history of clans and people with its rich fishing of herring and oysters and is the longest sea loch in the country. The waters also harbor dolphins, seals, otters and even basking sharks. Stories claim that a phantom galleon occasionally appears on the loch and it seems to signal death is coming. What are some other haunts around this village? Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of Inveraray, Scotland. The Moment in Oddity features the Dancing Plague of 1518. Our location was suggested by James McKenna.
