What is the Clan Hay Connection to Slains Castle?

Slains Castle, perched dramatically on the Aberdeenshire coast, is a haunting ruin with deep ties to Clan Hay. Overlooking the vast North Sea, this castle has been a silent witness to the shifting sands of time since its construction in the 16th century.

The Hays, one of Scotland's ancient noble families, acquired Slains Castle in the late 16th century. The castle became a symbol of their power and influence in the region. Sir Gilbert Hay of Erroll, a prominent figure in the family, was instrumental in rebuilding and expanding the castle, transforming it into a grand residence befitting the Hays' status.

Throughout its history, Slains Castle has seen its fair share of intrigue and drama. It's even said to have inspired Bram Stoker's "Dracula" during one of his visits, adding a layer of mystique to its already rich history.

If you're considering a landscape photograph of Scotland as a way to visualise your ancestral connection to Clan Hay or as a gift with personal meaning, this print of Slains Castle provides a beautiful immersive scene that transports you to the past.
