Darnaway Castle, Keeper's House

Gamekeepers House (19th Century)

What is recorded here

No human body is visible in the provided data, though a keeper may have stood at that window, watched the estate roads for poachers or simply enjoyed the quiet country air. The house belongs to the nineteenth century and still answers to Darnaway Castle, a reminder that grand estates relied on ordinary domestic labour as much as they relied on pride. Its exact position is known in Moray, yet no photograph or document has been shared to show whether the rooms remained bright, darkened or emptied.
