What is recorded here

Ballumbie Castle stands on Ballumbie Road in Dundee, a 16th-century structure later joined by 19th-century stables. The castle and stables still occupy the same ground, though no public entrance appears in the facts provided. What remains is a rare intact sequence: a defensive home and the working buildings that served it, preserved together instead of reduced to a hollow shell.
