Queensberry House
Photo: Wikipedia
Queensberry House is a building of 17th-century origin which is now Category A listed by Historic Environment Scotland. It was built between 1667–1670 as a grand lodging house for Margaret Douglas of Balmakelly, and was later modified in 1681 by Charles Maitland of Hatton. The building has an extensive history, most infamously when James Douglas, Earl of Drumlanrig murdered, roasted and ate a kitchenboy in 1707, on the same night his father signed the Act of Union between the Kingdom of Scotland and Kingdom of England.
Hauntings are told as reported — by owners, guests, guides and investigators — never as fact. The history underneath is often real, and sometimes tragic; we treat it with respect. Background from Wikipedia.
