Delgatie Castle, Castle and museum in Turriff, Scotland.
Delgatie Castle features a wide turnpike staircase with 97 steps connecting eight levels within its stone walls and towers.
The castle, established in 1030, was confiscated from the Earl of Buchan after the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314 and given to Clan Hay.
The castle displays original painted ceilings from 1592 and 1597, representing some of Scotland's finest preserved medieval artwork and craftsmanship.
The Laird's Kitchen within the castle serves Scottish home cooking throughout the day, including traditional scones and regional specialties.
During World War II, soldiers reported encounters with a red-haired apparition, linked to the discovery of human remains in a priest hole.
