Traquair dates back to 1107, and is said to be the oldest continually inhabited house in Scotland. It’s also extremely haunted, and they run ghost hunts in October. A groundsman was working in the gardens when a lady in old-fashioned clothing drifted towards him, passed through a closed gate, and disappeared. Argh.
