Originally built in the 12th century, the castle belonged to the Bains and the Davidson clan soon after. The name Tulloch was given to the castle at the beginning of the 16th century and has remained as such ever since, despite having changed ownership countless times. In the 1940s, after the evacuation of Dunkirk, the castle was used as a hospital and later on as a hostel for females only. In 1996, the castle was sold again and remade into the hotel and conference centre that it is today.
Dating as far back as the 12th century, Tulloch Castle Hotel is said to be the residence of quite a few ghostly guests. The most well-known amongst them is definitely the Green Lady, a ghost who has apparently also been caught on camera, thus spurring many investigations on site and even more documentaries about her story and the castle. Due to her popularity, the castle hotel has given her name to its bar, the Green Lady Bar, while in the Great Hall one can see the portrait of Elizabeth Davidson who is said to be the Green Lady herself.
