The Glasgow Vampire, the Baobhan Sith and other Scottish monster tales to terrify this Halloween
29.10.2022 - 08:09 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Scotland is a magical place and for every unicorn and fairy story told here over the years, there are others of monstrous kelpies, murderous goblins and even terrifying vampires.
A land with a long history of the supernatural, ranging from the witches of Macbeth to the Loch Ness Monster, Scots have long been fascinated with otherworldly creatures.
And though the world may now know of Nessie, we have a catalogue of monsters they might not know about.
From a vampire that haunted a graveyard in Glasgow to the Monster of Glamis Castle, here are some of the scariest beasts and boogeymen to entertain and enthral this Halloween.
Did you know that a 7-foot-tall vampire with iron teeth once stalked the grounds of one of Glasgow's graveyards?
In September 1954 in the Gorbals area of the city, rumours began to sweep the nearby playgrounds that two of the local boys had been kidnapped and murdered by it and it wasn't long before a local posse of hundreds of children, some armed with weapons and bringing their pet dogs to help in the hunt descended on the Southern Necropolis.
Over the space of three nights, they sought to find the vampire and put an end to its nefarious schemes. Were they successful? Well, no vampire has troubled the site since.

Though their modern counterparts, the incredible metal sculptures at Falkirk, are much-loved - the Kelpies of myth are far more disturbing creatures.
These spiteful water spirits, took the shape of horses and were said to haunt Scotland's lochs and remote rivers.
