What is recorded here

Lauriston Castle is a farmhouse and farmstead in Aberdeenshire, recorded without a clear period but marked on the official map to within ten metres. The name suggests a old estate, yet the facts give no date, no owner, and no event to anchor the story. It may have been a working home where families lived, worked the land, and disappeared from memory. The castle label is a temptation the facts do not support.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Lauriston Castle, Mains of Lauriston as Farmhouse (period Unassigned), Farmstead (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Lauriston Castle, Mains of Lauriston, is a historic site in Scotland, originally built as a fortified structure by the Lauriston family in the late 15th or early 16th century. It is remembered for its association with the historical and architectural heritage of lowland Scotland, reflecting the transition from castles to country houses during the early modern period.
