‘Haunted’ Ruins of Ancient Village with Private Beach for Sale on Loch Tay in Perthshire | UK News

The ruins of a village believed to be haunted by a 17th century ghost have been put up for sale.

The old village of Lawers, on the north shore of Loch Tay in Perthshire, is up for grabs for offers of over £ 125,000.
