Lundie Castle

Findspot (period Unassigned), Flake (flint)(period Unassigned), Unidentified Pottery (medieval)

What is recorded here

Lundie Castle was probably built in the early-16th century by Sir John Campbell of Lundie, but its stones were broken up for a late-18th-century farmstead. The garden house still carries the datestone AD 1683 and the initials of Alexander Duncan and Ann Drummond, hinting that love or pride marked the wall before the castle vanished. What remains is a living farmhouse with grotesque mask corbels, a collapsed garden house, and walls that reused castle material. The castle did not disappear cleanly; it reappeared as a home.
