What is recorded here
Drum Castle Policies holds a quiet pond and a quarry scoop beside Drumhill Wood in Aberdeenshire. The water may have collected after stone was taken, or the hole may have waited for rain to fill it. Either way, the land keeps both actions visible: removal and return. People may have pulled timber, carried tools, or simply sat at the edge while the wood dropped shadow across the pond.
