592 mGoblin Ha' This is the large subterranean chamber at Yester Castle. It is 37 feet long by 13 feet wide & 19 feet high. This is unique in Scotland. Built in the 13th century it was constructed of ashlar blocks and the pointed stone vaulted roof has massive close set ribs. Altogether remarkable for its time it was believed that the builder,Sir Hugo de Gifford, had supernatural powers.A legend that Sir Walter Scott uses in 'Marmion'. The scant remains of the castle above ground are all that now remains following Cromwell's 'visit'.

620 mThe Goblin Ha' A subterranean vaulted chamber in Yester Castle, dating from the 13 Century. Underneath the 14th century masonry is the famous subterranean Goblin Hall, supposedly created by mysterious forces. In reality it is but the basement vault of the original rectangular keep first raised by the alleged wizard Hugh de Gifford some time before 1267. This Gifford keep was illegally occupied by the English in 1308 and was consequently stormed by the Scots, then cast down to ground level in accord with King Robert the Bruce's (1306-1329) policy of making castles unserviceable to the English.
