Talbot Hotel

The ghost of Mary Queen of Scots is said to haunt the Elizabethan Talbot Hotel.

The oak staircase and other parts of the building were brought from the ruins of Fotheringhay Castle.

It was down these steps that she walked to her execution.

If all this sinister historical association puts you off you needn't worry Queen Mary hasn't been sighted for over a week now.
