Spotlight on Ardveck Castle

The devil offered to help the laird of Assynt build Ardveck castle in exchange for his soul. This was a step to far for the laird but he agreed instead that the devil could marry the daughter. So the castle was built and the wedding took place. However when the bride realised who her new husband was, she jumped from castle window into Loch Assynt below where she drowned. The castle is now haunted by her ghost weeping as she wanders the ruins.
