What is recorded here

Auchintoul stands as a plain rectangular towerhouse in Aberdeenshire where the west wing may date to the 16th century while the east wing emerged in 1711. The estate sustained a walled garden, mill, forge and octagonal lodge until sale in 1798, then endured dereliction and fire before 1990s restoration. Its stark geometry still suggests the barony granted in 1646, when human hands shaped stone for rooms, storage and pride rather than display.
