 | | Scotland's own "Wolf's lair", the ruined Highland keep once owned by one of the most infamous figures in Scottish history, will be reopened to the public next week, following the completion of a major restoration scheme. |
 | | Drumin Castle, the 14th-century fortress on the Glenlivet Estate in Moray, was one of the main castles used by Sir Alexander Stewart, the notorious "Wolf of Badenoch", to conduct a reign of terror throughout the north-east of Scotland and the Highlands, which culminated in the sacking and burning of Elgin Cathedral in 1390. |
 | | Stewart, the fourth son of Robert II, attacked the cathedral and looted Elgin and nearby Forres as part of a long-running feud with the bishop of Moray, who had excommunicated him when he rejected his wife, the Countess of Ross, in favour of his mistress. |
