What is recorded here
South Lodge stands as the gatekeeper to Arnage Castle in Aberdeenshire, though no date is recorded for its building. It marks the boundary between the outer world and the castle grounds, a small stone sentinel at the edge of private land. Whether it watched carts, riders or quiet footsteps is no longer written, but its position still divides public road from concealed estate.
