What is recorded here
Drum Castle Policies, Old Wood is a lade in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, recorded without a date or visible boundary. The name suggests water worked beneath castle land, perhaps feeding gardens, mills or drainage before people stopped measuring the flow. The policies may have hidden that lade under grass and roots, keeping the castle alive through water instead of stone.
