In the quiet lands of Morvern, by the fringes of Loch Aline, stands an ancient fortress known as Kinlochaline Castle. A stone sentinel watching over the serene waters, the castle is steeped in history, beauty and an eerie folklore tale that adds a haunting charm. The ancient legend weaves a tale of a ghostly piper, forever trapped within the castle walls. Our story begins with a time when the Castle was under siege by the Clan MacDonald during clan wars. The treasured family piper of the respectable Clan Comyn, who were owners of the Castle, was asked to fetch water from a nearby well. The faithful piper complied but did not know that he was being closely watched. The MacDonalds, seizing the opportunity, captured the piper and forced him into a secret tunnel that led into the castle. Playing his pipes as he trekked through the darkness, he unknowingly guided the MacDonalds right into the heart of the fortress leading to the Comyn’s defeat. As an act of revenge, the MacDonalds sealed the piper inside the tunnel, leaving him to meet a gruesome fate. Since that dark day, the sorrowful sound of the bagpipes can often be heard echoing from the depths of Kinlochaline Castle. The mournful chords traverse through the silent woods and over the tranquil waters of Loch Aline, echoing the piper’s eternal lament. Thus, the haunted saga of the ghostly piper has become an integral part of Morvern folklore, continuing to captivate locals and tourists alike, making Kinlochaline Castle a hauntingly beautiful historical landmark of Scotland.
