Crathes Castle is a 16th century castle near Banchory. It is in the historic county of Kincardineshire. Construction on the current stone castle began around 1553, though it was delayed by political unrest during the reign of Mary, Queen of Scots. This castle was built by the Burnetts of Leys and was held in that family for almost 400 years. The Burnett family origins can be traced back to the arrival of the Normans in England in 1066. Their interests in Deeside date back to 1323 when Alexander de Burnard was given an estate near Banchory and appointed the Royal Forester of Drum by Robert the Bruce. The years before the Reformation of 1560 brought the family increased wealth. In 1543 Alexander Burnett of Leys had married Janet Hamilton, daughter of a supposedly celibate Roman Catholic canon and a good friend of Cardinal David Beaton, Abbot of Arbroath Abbey. Beaton was murdered by Protestants associated with John Knox at St Andrews Castle in 1546, but not before he had managed to distribute large quantities of church property and assets to assorted favourites including his own mistresses, assorted illegitimate children, and to Janet Hamilton. Crathes is said to be haunted by a ghost known as the Green Lady. Legend suggests she was a Burnett daughter who had a baby with a servant. A skeleton of a woman and child were later found under the hearthstone in the Green Lady's room.
