Udny Castle, the Kennels stands in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, marked on the official map with a point accurate to the nearest metre. The Kennels belong to an unassigned period, leaving their exact age and purpose open to imagination. They may have held hunting dogs, castle guards, or strange creatures that answered only to Udny blood. The precise location invites wonder rather than certainty, reminding us that some places reveal themselves through suggestion instead of fact.
