What is recorded here
Castle Newe stands in Aberdeenshire as the broken remains of a house that became a castle only in memory. Its barrel-vaulted cellar and corridor still lie low in the Strathdon earth, marked by a 1604 datestone once set above the door of the later House of Newe. The building changed twice, in 1791 and 1831, before disappearing around the mid-twentieth century. What is left is not a fortress but a shape repeated until it became true: a domestic room enlarged until it sounded like a castle.
