I've heard that story before - must have been a lot of inbreeding in that family ..............

There is a bit about it on Wikipedia: Monster of Glamis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have a vague recollection of an old film (from the 50s or 60s I think) that was obviously based on this story, although there was no reference to either Glamis or the Bowes-Lyon family in it (probably for legal reasons). Does it ring a bell with anyone?
