What is recorded here

Mains of Brux is a 19th century farmhouse built directly on the ruins of the medieval Old Castle of Brux in Aberdeenshire. The house incorporates a laird's residence from circa 1700, marked by a late 17th century fireplace lintel and original upper floor windows. It stands beside ruined stable blocks and a yard where six buildings once clustered, now reduced to a single roofed structure and scattered foundations.
