Join Annie and Jenny on a trip to the Aberdeenshire Coast, revisiting Old and New Slains Castles. We discover how Bram Stoker took extensive inspiration from Cruden Bay in his writing of his books: Watter’s Mou, Mystery of the Sea and Dracula.  We revisit the Hays of Errol as their power in the North East of Scotland surges and wanes.  Together, we unpick why 19th Century vampires were wearing kilts in the public imagination, and demand for a return to this trend. Finally, they touch on the smuggler and ghost stories of New Slains Castle. You can support Stories of Scotland on Patreon! www.patreon.com/storiesofscotland
