Crathes Castle Policies holds Post Medieval ice-houses beside Banchory Ternan, where clear winter water froze into blocks for summer kitchens. People may have carried heavy white weight through fields while children watched the castle towers rise above the boundary. The stones still mark the edge of that labour, preserving the moment when distance and hunger met human muscle.
