What is recorded here
Druminnor Castle stands in Kennels, Aberdeenshire, but no archive gives it a date or a master. The land may have worn human footsteps long before memory, yet the castle itself resists time's label. It is not a display hall or a public museum; it is a hidden marker, waiting for someone brave enough to wonder what it hid.
