What is recorded here

Drummuir Castle rose in Moray during 1846 and 1847 when Admiral Archibald Duff spent ten thousand pounds to give his inherited estate a worthy anchor. Thomas Mackenzie shaped the asymmetric stone into a residence for the Lord Lieutenant of Banffshire, filling the rooms with white and gold wallpaper, cusped woodwork, and marble fireplaces that still glow beneath restored roofs. The house keeps its sharp towers and vivid interiors, waiting for people to imagine the dinners, arguments, and quiet hours that once echoed through its octagonal chambers.
