Some great Highland families were believed to have a warning spirit of their own that visited them. Hone lists from Brand the bodach an dun, the ghost of the hill, said to belong to the family of Rothiemurchus, and the spectre of the bloody hand of the Kinchardines. Gartinbeg house was said to be haunted by Bodach Gartin, and Tullochgorm by Maug Moulach, the girl with the hairy left hand.
