I'm leaving for Scotland on Saturday I plan to fly into Edinburgh and stay at the University of St. Andrews for a few days before traveling around the country. I plan on visiting Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace as well as Loch Lomond. I might give the side eye to Mary Queen of Scots when I'm there. Hehe she's not my favorite but I like learning about her role in Scottish history.

Built between the late 14th to mid 15th century the most interesting thing I know about Queen Mary's Bath House is that an ornate dagger was found in the roof-space while the building was being repaired in 1789 or 1852, depending on the source, I've always wondered what became of it..........

The Old Town of Edinburgh is honeycombed with cellars, passages, and tunnels. These subterranean labyrinths are home to ancient horrors long forgotten by the residents. Great-hand is one of these.

Great-hand lives in the tunnel beneath the Royal Mile, stretching from the Castle to the Palace of Holyrood. Once used by soldiers for surprise attacks, it eventually fell into disuse. Then Great-hand moved in and the passage was abandoned completely. Nobody ever left the tunnel alive.

The only thing that has ever been seen of Great-hand is a hand – an enormous grisly hand, with fingernails like the claws of an eagle. If that hand is attached to a body, none have seen it.

After a while of avoiding the tunnel, a piper declared he would cross the tunnel, playing his pipes the whole way to verify his progress. Taking his dog along with him, he entered through the cave near the Castle, and the sound of his pipes could be heard traveling underground as he went down the hill. Then, at the Heart of Midlothian, the music stopped. The attending crowd went back to the entrance of the cave to see the dog running out in abject terror, completely hairless. The passage was blocked up from both ends.

Similar stories are told across Scotland involving haunted caves, foolhardy pipers, and dogs shedding their hair with fright. They are cautionary tales warning of the perils of the underground.

Ahh shit here we go again

The darkness wrapped around the Salisbury Crags which loomed over the bombed out shell of the Scottish Parliament. Two figures shuffled their way forward, keeping their heads down to peer over the edge and get a good look at the floodlit Holyrood Palace Barracks. It was raining, the type of Scottish rain that doesn't really bother you but leaves you soaking. "We've been up here for hours. We should take either side, that's the best route forward," whispered Gary just loud enough for his partner to hear him.

"Naw, it's perfectly feasible tae take it down the middle," came Barry's response. "Don't be fucking ridiculous, who in their right mind would do that?" A spotlight made a pass over the crags, causing the two to hunker down and hide their faces. Besides the spotlight, there didn't seem to be a single guard on duty. "Look, I'm just gonnae dae it" "Don't you fucking dare." "Here, catch!" "Barry, you are a fucking arsehole you know that?" Gary hissed as he stared emptily at what was in his hands.
