Bedlay Castle Bedlay Castle is a former defensive castle , dating from the late 16th and 17th centuries . It is located between Chryston and Moodiesburn in North Lanarkshire , Scotland . The castle is just off the A80 road , around 8 miles to the north - east of Glasgow , at . History . The lands of Bedlay or Ballayn were the possession of the Bishops of Glasgow . The grant of land to the diocese was confirmed by David I and again by William I in 1180 . Bishop Cameron is reported to have had a castle or house on this site . In 1580 , James Boyd of Trochrig , then the titular Protestant Archbishop of Glasgow , granted the lands to his kinsman , Robert Boyd , 4th Lord Boyd of Kilmarnock . He built the original Bedlay Castle soon after , on the end of a volcanic crag above the Bothlyn Burn . The Boyds held the castle until 1642 , when James , 9th Lord Boyd sold it to the advocate James Roberton , grandson of John Roberton , 9th Laird of Earnock , later Lord Bedlay . The Robertons extended the castle , and held the property until 1786 . Since then the castle has been owned by a number of people , including the Campbells of Petershill , who built a family mausoleum in the grounds . Bedlay is still privately owned and occupied as a house . As of May 2007 , Bedlay Castle is up for sale . The castle . Bedlay Castle stands on a natural defensive point , protected on three sides by watercourses , with the approach from the south . The original castle , built soon after 1580 , was a simple tower house of two storeys and an attic . The tower house was around 13 by 7 . 5 metres , and had a square stair tower protruding from the north - east corner . At the ground floor were two vaulted cellars , with a hall above . The stair tower was later modified by the addition of an extra storey , reached by a spiral stair corbelled out from the join of the stair tower and the main block . The second phase of building at Bedlay took place in the late 17th century , with a large extension added to the west . This extension is of the same height as the original building , with a single room on each floor . Round towers finish off both western corners of the extension . Because the extension was built on lower ground , an extra floor was created at the lower level , accessed from the ground floor , and including a hidden room beneath one of the towers . A linking block of two storeys was added to the north side in the 18th century . Other modernisations include large sash windows , and the division of the main hall into two rooms . Garden ornaments including the stone balustrades and gate piers were brought here by the Campbells from their now demolished property at Petershill . Hauntings . The ghost of a large bearded man , identified as Bishop Cameron , has been seen in the castle . A ghostly horse and carriage has also been heard in the lane beside the house , an old coach road . Repeated sightings of a black mass in the hallway have been noted . The Campbell mausoleum was also said to be haunted , until the building was moved to a nearby cemetery .
Siege of Sofia The Siege of Sofia took place in 1382 or 1385 during the course of the Bulgarian - Ottoman Wars . Unable to defend his country from the Ottomans , in 1373 the Bulgarian emperor Ivan Shishman agreed to become an Ottoman vassal and to marry his sister Kera Tamara to their sultan Murad I , while the Ottomans were to return some conquered fortresses .

There are little records about the siege . After the futile attempts to storm the city , the Ottoman commander Lala Shahin Pasha considered to abandon the siege . However , a Bulgarian renegate managed to lure the city governor ban Yanuka out of the fortress to hunt and the Turks captured him . Leaderless , the Bulgarians surrendered . The city walls were destroyed and an Ottoman garrison was installed . With the way to the north - west cleared , the Ottomans pressed further and captured Pirot and Niš in 1386 , thus wedging between Bulgaria and Serbia .
