What is recorded here

Drumtochty Castle, Mains of Drumtochty stands in Aberdeenshire as a post medieval farmstead, its stone walls still holding the shape of hands that built them. It is not a grand castle but a working home, the kind where bread baked before dawn and children ran past shelves heavy with barley. The main house may have worn a tower or a hall, yet the farmyard remained the heart, feeding everyone who lived beneath its roof.
