What is recorded here

Ravenscraig Castle is a ruined tower house on a rocky crag above the River Ugie, built for the Keith family and visited by King James VI in 1589. Its thick walls and vaulted rooms still stand, but ravens have nested in the broken chimneys since the castle fell quiet. The loss of its dressed stone did not diminish it; the crag, the river and the birds completed what human hands had begun.
