The Headless Sentry of Dumbarton Castle

Dumbarton Castle, Dumbarton Rock

The sources found are modern listings and a local newspaper piece on Dumbarton's ghosts, with no dated sighting. The sentry is the story that is repeated most often. Whether it goes back to older tradition is not shown.

The castle is managed by Historic Environment Scotland, and the rock is a scheduled site.
