What is recorded here
Maryton stands in Angus as a medieval fortified house and tower that survived into post-medieval times, its stones still holding the shape of hands that built and defended it. A bronze-age socketed axehead nearby suggests people worked that land long before walls rose, cutting wood or fighting beneath open skies. The house may have welcomed traders, hidden families from storms, or watched borders shift while ordinary lives continued inside.
