What is recorded here
Drum Castle Policies, Old Wood remains an unassigned enclosure in Aberdeenshire, stripped of the human timeline that usually gives a place its shape. The land may have served as a boundary, a hunting ground or a forgotten estate, yet no date or name has emerged to confirm the purpose. What is known is that the policies still exist beside Drum Castle, holding the kind of quiet where local memory outlives official record.
