What is recorded here

No credible evidence exists that Lady Mackenzie is buried beneath Brahan Castle. The claim repeats in modern writing without naming the woman, dating her death or citing a contemporary source. It may preserve a lost family memory or it may be a modern invention. The absence of evidence should be written instead of repeating the claim.
