The Grey Lady of Glamis Castle contemporary reports

Record summary

Glamis Castle’s Grey Lady tradition, commonly associated with Lady Janet Douglas, continued to generate visitor and staff reports in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Accounts describe a veiled or grey-clad apparition in or around the chapel and other castle spaces. The lead is valuable for comparing a named historical person, an inherited persecution narrative and modern sightings at a heritage attraction. The original historical evidence concerns Lady Janet’s execution, not a verified apparition, while the modern reports are variably dated and may reflect guided-tour framing.
