What is recorded here

Fyvie Castle, Old Home Farm, is a surviving courtyard farmstead and dovecot in Aberdeenshire, not a grand castle hall. Its post-medieval and 18th-century buildings suggest a working estate where eggs, horses and household pride mattered as much as display. The dovecot is the odd jewel: a tower of small dark rooms where birds flew home to feed the table.
