Sutherland / Dunrobin Castle

My grandmother Jane Mackenzie  lived in Dunrobin Glen , and worked as a ladies maid at Dunrobin Castle maybe circa 1899 to 1914.

  Are there likely to be employment records kept at the Castle for staff over the years , and if so is it possible to obtain information on the employment of my grandma during this period ?

Dunrobin Glen.

     My grandma Jane Mackenzie lived maybe with other sisters, with her
mother I believe also Jane in a cottage up Dunrobin Glen. She was employed as a lady's maid at Dunrobin Castle probably late 1800's early 1900's .
Also at the top of the Glen lived my great uncle Dougle Macdonald and his wife Chrisie (nee Mackenzie) my great aunt . Dougle was Gamekeeper for the Duke of Sutherland , and I first met them in 1955 when my mum and dad and I stayed in the Grace and Favour cottage provided by the Duke on his retirement in Brora.  The Mackenzies moved from Garve maybe end of 1800's .
Anyone any knowledge of this period
