What is recorded here

Inside the central range at Ballindalloch, eighteenth-century cart sheds and stables still hold the shape of working horses and heavy wooden wheels. They served the castle as a living machine rather than a decorative backdrop, converting field and road into daily motion. The buildings remain logged in the national record, but ownership and entry are separate. What is known is that they existed to keep a large household moving, not merely to be looked at.
