It appears that much more is known of the Glamis Monster than I had supposed based on a few odd references (like “In Search Of …”). I had been under the impression that the monster was something like an elemental — more genuinely vague and shapeless, and much older than 1821. The story presented here is sad, but neither supernatural nor cryptozoological.

The other older monster tradition being true I can well believe too, as the then Earl once heard about a group of students who were staying in the castle, put sheets out of what they thought were all the windows (to see if the truth of secret sets of room was true) apparently the Earl was uncharacteristically furious too.
