The Black Knight and the White Lady of Roslin

Also known as: Black Knight of Roslin

Roslin Castle and Roslin Glen

Reports of unknown dates

The Black Knight appears in the account as a phantom rider on a horse, seen by motorists three times. The article speculates that he might be a knight killed in the battle of 1303, though it offers no support. The White Lady frequents the castle area, though no specific narrative accompanies her.

The same account says residents report dogs refusing to proceed on certain paths and mysterious footsteps on the castle forecourt. None of these is dated or attributed to a named witness. They are recorded here as local reputation. Related stories, of a hound and a family omen, have their own entries.
