What is recorded here
Drum Castle Policies, Cowie Hill marks a field boundary in Aberdeenshire, though no human date or named event remains attached to the line. The policies may have swallowed castle shadows or separated neighbour lands, yet the boundary still draws a visible edge across the hill. Walk past that edge and the ordinary field becomes a room where forgotten people lived, worked or argued.
