What is recorded here

Knockhall Castle stands as a medieval tower house in Aberdeenshire, anchoring a designed landscape that stretched from the seventeenth through the nineteenth century. It faced Ythan Lodge, built in 1775 and later restored, while the surrounding ground shaped a private world of stone, garden and memory. The castle may have watched horses, carts and families move through that valley for generations, its walls holding heat and secrets long after the first builders left.
