What is recorded here

Hatton Castle is a restored medieval tower house in Aberdeenshire, built in 1575 by Lawrence, 4th Lord Oliphan, and named Newtyle Castle. It fell into ruin by the 19th century, then reappeared in the mid-1980s as a lived-in home with square corner towers, a circular turret and a vaulted basement. The recovery work uncovered pottery stretching from the 16th century to modern times, suggesting the castle has kept receiving people rather than waiting for history to notice it.
