Shieldhill Castle
Shieldhill Castle is a category B listed building located near Biggar in South Lanarkshire.[1] The building dates back to 1199 and is currently being run as Shieldhill Castle Hotel.[2]
Reported hauntings
A grey lady ghost has been sighted by hotel guests in the corridors of the building. One belief is she was a former occupant of the house who fell for someone of a lower social class. The story goes that she killed herself as a result of her father forbidding their relationship. Additionally a male ghost clothed in a what appears to be butler's uniform has been reported in the hotel's former staff quarters.[3]
Ownership
The Chancellor family resided in the castle for over 750 years. After being sold by the family it was turned into a hotel in 1959.[3]

gollark: You didn't have time? Isn't this quite a long challenge thing?
gollark: Also the fact that most stuff, even if it uses DC internally (most things probably do), runs off mains AC and has some sort of built-in/shipped-with-it power supply, and there aren't really common standards for high-powered lower-voltage DC connectors around. Except USB-C, I guess? That goes to 100W.
gollark: I guess it depends on exactly what you do, and the resistance of the wires.
gollark: Which is as far as I know more an issue of low voltages than DC itself, but DC means you can't change the voltage very easily.
