What is recorded here

Aboyne Castle, Home Farm stands in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, recorded as a farmhouse and farmstead without a clear period. The name suggests a castle reduced to domestic utility, perhaps a noble residence stripped and refit for ordinary life. Whether it kept chambers for guests or merely rooms for livestock is no longer certain. The place still belongs to the region, even if its history has blurred into farmwork and forgetting.
