GRANDFATHER MOUNTAIN â Every first Saturday in September, thousands of people descend upon a small village in Northeast Scotland for what is highly touted as the best and most significant Highland Games in the world: the Braemar Gathering.
Dating back 900 years (and with its modern roots being traced to 1832), the Braemar Gathering is renowned for its athletic displays of incredible might, the many world-class bagpiping bands that march through its fields and the cultural significance that brings Scots from all over the world on a pilgrimage-like journey to this small village in Aberdeenshire.
The gathering is known to leave quite the impression on those who venture to this vibrant and scintillating affair. In fact, Queen Elizabeth has visited the gathering each year they have been held since she first stepped foot on the fields in the Scottish highlands when she was just seven years old in 1933.
In modern times, there is not much left of the once glorious Annan Castle. Located on the banks of the River Annan, in Annan, Scotland, the castle is now just an eroded husk of ancient red-sandstone, little more than a handful of ruins, but in a former life it was once a very important place. The castle was originally built in the early 12th century by King Willian The Lion to serve as a stronghold for the de Brus family, Lords of Annandale, chosen for its strategic position on the river guard the crossing from Galloway, which at the time was an independent region from the Kingdom of Scotland. It also served to guard the route north to Lothian and Strathclyde. The castle long served as the home of Robert de Brus, also commonly called “The Competitor,” 6th Lord of Annandale, father to the future King of Scotland Robert the Bruce and grandfather of Robert I, The Bruce. It is with Robert de Brus that we get to talk of curses and vampires at the castle.
