Kingussie, Highland

Allan Macpherson-Fletcher and his wife Marjorie share this house with a friendly ghost. She is believed to be a young maid who fell in love with the butler in the 1860s, but realising she could never marry him as he was above her station, she threw herself from a bridge in the grounds. She was frequently seen in the 1940s, but after the war a tenant lowered the floor of the east wing, which was the servants quarters, sealing off several rooms in the cellar. It wasn't until about seven years ago that the rooms were rediscovered and she was 'released' again. She seems to be fascinated with modern technology and turns on radiators, lights and taps and she is especially fond of switching on the electric kettle.
