The King Burned Her Alive. Her Family Ended Up on the Throne.
In 1537, the King of Scotland burned the Lady of Glamis at the stake on false charges — and nearly destroyed her family. Four centuries later, a daughter of that same family was crowned Queen. This is the story of Glamis Castle: the Macbeth legend, the judicial murder of Janet Douglas, the infamous Monster of Glamis, and the Bowes-Lyon family's impossible climb from condemned traitors to the British throne. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 The Woman on Castle Hill 00:56 The Fairy-Tale Fortress 01:54 Royal Blood & the Macbeth Myth 03:46 The King's Revenge 06:31 The Monster of Glamis 08:02 From the Stake to the Throne 09:44 Visiting Glamis Today 🏰 Heirs & Ruins explores the castles around the world — and the noble families who rose, ruled, and fell within their walls.
