What is recorded here
Crathes Castle Policies holds ice-houses built between 1561 and 1899, standing beside a cart shed in Aberdeenshire. The chambers may have stored river ice through summer for nearby kitchens, while the shed waited for heavy carts and patient hands. Together they reveal how a grand estate depended on hidden labour and ordinary endurance.
