What is recorded here

East Lodge stands beside Aboyne Castle in Aberdeenshire, a small building whose age and purpose remain unrecorded. It may have housed a keeper, stored tools, or given shelter during storms, but no facts confirm that use. The main castle dominates memory while the lodge waits in shadow, preserving only the shape of a relationship rather than the story of one.
