What is recorded here
Geanies Castle vanished so completely that Davidson stood in wheat and saw nothing, though a local story claims one tree still marks its lost precincts. The castle belongs to the medieval barony of Geanies, yet even its name faded from local memory before the surveyors arrived. What remains is a clean field where a building once commanded attention, proving that disappearance can be total and sudden.
