What is recorded here

Panmure Castle is a ruined rhomboid fortress built around 1224 for Sir Peter Maule, where corner towers still guard a courtyard containing a covered well. Andrew Moray destroyed the structure in 1306 to deny it to English hands, yet the Maule family returned to raise a new hall and chapel after the Battle of Flodden. Today trees swallow the crumbling walls beside a broad water-filled moat, preserving a quiet ghost of the violent pride that once shaped the Angus landscape.
