What is recorded here

Hallgreen Castle stands in Aberdeenshire as an L-plan fortress built in the late 16th Century, though local tradition claims the Dunnet family founded it in 1376 before the Raits took it over. Wide splayed gun-loops pierce the south and east fronts, hinting at a much earlier defensive nucleus that survived later changes. A modern mansion now attaches to the north and west, transforming the dangerous stronghold into a domestic residence. The building suffered dereliction in the 1970s until restoration works in the 1980s recovered its plaster ceiling and coat of arms dated 1683.
