Answer: "Lillias Drummond"

Fyvie castle is situated in Aberdeenshire, Scotland and has been home to many powerful families from Scotland.

Not long after this Lillias was locked up in one of the top rooms of the castle and starved to death. Rather shortly after the passing of his wife he married Grizel Leslie.
One night when Grizel and the Earl were together in one of the upstairs rooms they heard a scratching noise. When they woke up they found the words "Lillias Drummond" engraved on the outside of the window (which was 50 foot from the ground) so that it would have been nearly impossible for anyone to write that on the window.
The ghost of Lillias, often referred to as the "Green Lady" has been spotted on many occasions wandering the castle.
Another ghost that is often seen and heard in he castle grounds is the ghost of Andrew Lammie, who was a man that had fancied Lillias but was not allowed to see her as Lillias' father had not liked him and ended up selling him as a slave in the West Indies.
When he eventually returned he found out that Lillias had died and ended up committing suicide.
The ghost of Andrew Lammie is said to play a trumpet at night, outside the castle.
