The castle is referred to as rubeum castrum (Latin for Red Castle) in the deeds of 1286, referring to its red sandstone, which was typical of this area.

It's said that the ghost of Cardinal Beaton haunts the area - however mostly concentrated in the nearby Ethie Caslte – Beaton's ghost is no stranger to this part of Scotland.

Why is his spirit so frequently seen at a multitude of locations is
the question. Could it be due to his gruesome death?

Cardinal Beaton was murdered, corpse mutilated, and left hanging from St Andrews castle window.

The prime suspects for the dastardly deed were Norman Leslie, master of Rothes, and William Kirkcaldy of Grange.
