What is recorded here
Lundie Castle was probably built by Sir John Campbell of Lundie in the early 16th century, but its stones were broken up and rebuilt into a working farmstead by the early 19th century. The garden house still carries an inset datestone reading AD 1683, likely marking Alexander Duncan of Lundie and Ann Drummond of Megginch, while grotesque mask corbels watch the north elevation of the farmhouse. What began as a castle has become a living farm, forcing its own history to keep reappearing through reused walls, surviving dates and changed rooms.
