What is recorded here
North Lodge guards the approach to Ayton Castle, its late 19th century gate piers still marking the boundary between public road and private grounds. The stone stands firm in the Scottish Borders, waiting for carriage wheels or boot heels that have not touched it for decades. Whatever lives inside the castle walls, the lodge remembers the last time someone answered a knock.
