Throwback Tuesdays #51 YESTER CASTLE, DID JARETH THE GOBLIN KING BUILD IT

from A.I.P (ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE) · host Ricky Pike

Welcome to Throwback Tuesdays 🏰✨ This week, we’re diving into the eerie and enchanting history of Yester Castle in East Lothian, Scotland, and exploring a whimsical question: Did Jareth the Goblin King, from the 1986 cult classic *Labyrinth*, have anything to do with its construction? 😜 Join us as we uncover the real story behind Yester Castle, a 13th-century ruin famous for its mysterious subterranean chamber, the Goblin Ha’ (Goblin Hall). Legend has it that Sir Hugo de Giffard, the “Wizard of Y trayester,” built this vaulted hall with the help of a magical army of hobgoblins summoned through a pact with the Devil. Sound familiar? With its spooky vibes and goblin lore, it’s easy to imagine David Bowie’s iconic Jareth ruling over this haunted ruin! We’ll take you through the castle’s history, from its origins with the Giffard family to its abandonment in favor of Yester House, and separate fact from fantasy. Could the Goblin Ha’ have inspired the Goblin City in *Labyrinth*? Or is this just a fun coincidence? Stick around for some creepy tales, stunning visuals of the castle ruins, and a playful nod to Jareth’s magical Labyrinth! 🦇👑🔔 Don’t forget to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and hit the bell for more Throwback Tuesdays!
