Haunted ruins on banks of Scots loch go on sale for £100,000
ANCIENT ruins said to be stalked by the ghost of a woman who could foresee the future have gone on sale.
The tumbledown remains of the Old Village of Lawers, on the shore of Loch Tay, Perthshire, dates from the 1600s and has been put on the market with a price-tag of £100,00.
The new owner would be unable to build on the spooky site, which is designated as a scheduled ancient monument, but would become the "custodian" of an area said to be rich in history.
However, they may also have to contend with the spirit of Lady Lawers, last occupant of the House of Lawers, who was said to have been a soothsayer who predicted disasters on the Loch and who locals claim haunts the ruins to this day.
Jon Lambert, of selling agent John Clegg & Co, said: “An opportunity such as this to acquire part of Scotland’s historical heritage in what many believe to be the most beautiful part of the country arises very rarely.
"The word ‘unique’ is overused but there can be very few times when it is so appropriate as with this chance to be the owner and custodian of an area so rich in history, romance and tradition.”
The three-acre site comprises ruins at each end with an ‘in-field’ in between, on which the villagers farmed in the past.
