The story
The Secret Room of Glamis
One legend describes nobles playing cards on the Sabbath until an unknown visitor joins them; another claims a child with a severe condition was hidden for life. Searches for sealed rooms became part of the castle's mysterious reputation.

Belief, history & interpretation
