In the dead of night, October 1630, a fire ripped through Frendraught Castle in Aberdeenshire. Eight people died, including several high-ranking guests of the Crichton family—burned alive in their locked tower room. But this was no accident… and no one has ever been convicted.
Whispers of arson and betrayal filled the air. Some blamed Lady Frendraught, alleging she set the blaze to eliminate political rivals. Others pointed fingers at feuding clans. The event sparked decades of violent retaliation and bloodshed, particularly between the Crichtons and the Gordons.
The story inspired ghost sightings, ballads, and even legal trials—but the full truth was never uncovered. Today, the ruins of the castle stand as a chilling reminder of a night soaked in smoke, screams… and secrets though a new grand house partially stands on the site.
