*{{Intangibility}}: In the final scene, this is played for comedic purposes. [[spoiler: When Mr. Bigelow is being chased around the castle by Murdoch, Bigelow doesn’t realize that Murdoch has the ability to go throw doors, appear out of nowhere, and finally get him to submit.]]
*JacobMarleyApparel: Murdoch went with his Jacobian outfit, and it’s the only thing he’s got while haunting the castle.
*ManInAKilt: It doesn't hurt the eyes at all to see Donat in a kilt.
*MistakenIdentity: Peggy thinks Murdoch’s antics are Donald’s.
*PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: Mr. Martin wears a kilt even though he’s not Scottish. Then, when Donald shows them the tradition of having bagpipers play before dinner, Martin does the same thing when he introduces the castle in Florida. Except with jazz musicians. It comes off as Americanized cultural appropriation of In-universe Scottish traditions.
*RunningGag: A little game Murdoch loves to play, “Spell Me a Riddle”.
--->'''Murdoch''': I ask you a riddle, and if you can’t answer it by the time I spell Killiecrankie, you must pay a forfeit…Now this is the riddle: what is the difference betwixt the thistle in the heather, and the kiss in the dark?
**The “forfeit” is a kiss.
*TallDarkAndHandsome: Robert Donat to a T.
*UnfinishedBusiness: The Glourie clan vs. the [=McLaggen=] clan.
*YourCheatingHeart: Peggy thinks that Donald is playing with her feelings since she hears what she thinks is him using the riddle pick-up line on other women. It’s actually Murdoch trying to kiss them up.
