  • Buckholm Tower, ruined, oppressive, haunted, stands on a hill to the north of Galashiels, in the Scottish Borders.
    The Tower was home to a wicked man called James Pringle who had a fierce hatred of women and anyone who stood against the government.
    Did his anger cost him his very soul?

    Another spooky 'treat' for all who care to wander the path to 'Eerie Edinburgh'. The tales themselves, the visuals, the background music and the atmospheric Scottish 'lilt' of the narrator.......we're being spoilt, fellow wanderers!!!!!

    Just found your channel, I live in Selkirk near Gala and my mum grew up in Gala. Her dog in childhood (in 1950’s) would not go near the tower…she always said it had a horrible feeling

    Nice re telling of the tale 😎👍. Gala, like most places, is a pleasant enough town to visit but has had it’s troubles in the past. I recall my ‘family box of documents & photographs’ in Kelso having a handwritten adoption letter for a child taken from it’s mother who was allegedly a ‘shameless drunkard’. The letter had some ribbon affixed to the bottom with a dark red blob of sealing wax. The letter went on to pour scorn upon the immorality of the townsfolk and the town itself. I imagine that it was from around the time of the Industrial Revolution and that epidemic of cheap & plentiful gin in that timeframe. Folks would be coming off the land as they were cleared to make way for grazing sheep & cattle, the promise of work in the mills attracting them to the towns. Sub standard housing arrangements for minimal wage workers…….Edinburgh, Glasgow, London, Liverpool….all the same tale of woe from the Industrial Revolution and movement off the land 🤔👍

      That's true, we don't hear much about the impact of the Lowland Clearances, as terrible as the Highland Clearances. On a different note, i know of a current haunting in Gala that might make its way into a video one day 👍🏻

    This curse seems like an inversion of the time effects from the 1408 room curse. Instead of every hour restarting over to infinity, every year seems like only a few minutes that is repeated over and over. A few minutes of terror and pain begging for help, a few minutes that becomes infinity.

    Good story.👍🏻 What a cruel man! One thing puzzles me though, his wife and son left him during one of his drunken sleeps never to be seen by him again, what happened to them? A man as powerful as the Earl would probably have run them to ground very quickly by putting searchers out. Was it ever recorded where they ended up? I'm suspicious that he might have killed them and hid their bodies. Back then it was not easy for a vulnerable woman and child to survive without means to. Perhaps friends/family hid them? Thanks for the vid.😊

    I believe Covenanters stood for what they believed in, be it right or wrong. Standing up to a King who tried to enforce his will upon them, at that time took some bottle, they faced execution merely for having a Bible in their pocket. I think it was Walter Scott who said they were "hunted down like deer". This man deserved to be freaked out by whatever nightmare haunted him, long may it continue.
