What is recorded here
Dorlaithers Castle stands in Aberdeenshire as a medieval ruin, its stones weathered into the landscape rather than preserved behind glass. The name resists easy pronunciation, sounding like a whispered warning instead of a landmark. That resistance fits the place: a castle reduced to memory, waiting for someone stubborn enough to imagine life inside its absence.
