What is recorded here

Drum Castle Policies, Old Wood marks a field boundary in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, where ancient land divisions still cut through living woodland. The exact line remains unassigned in time, suggesting human hands shaped the landscape long before modern records existed. Whether the policies separated pasture from forest or defined castle grounds, they reveal how people imposed order on wild terrain. The old wood may have grown around these boundaries rather than beneath them, shaping itself to human decisions made generations ago.
