What is recorded here

Drummore Castle began as a medieval tower house, but time and rebuilding shaped it into a 19th-century farmhouse and farmstead in Dumfries and Galloway. The castle may have worn many roles, a defensive stronghold, a family home, a working farm, before becoming the quiet ruin it is today. What remains is a layer cake of lives, each generation adding its own stones and stories to the last.
