What is recorded here
Auchen Castle Policies holds medieval rig and furrow marks alongside possible mill features and water channels in Dumfries and Galloway. The land may have turned grain, grown food or guided water long before modern roads passed nearby. Such a place invites wonder about the hands that shaped it and the daily needs that shaped those hands.
