What is recorded here
Mains of Rochelhill stands in Angus as a possible medieval castle later rebuilt into an 18th-century farmhouse, marking the shift from defensive ambition to domestic comfort. The exact site remains known, yet the building itself has faded enough to invite imagination about who first watched the land from its walls and who later lived there for bread and butter rather than battle.
