What is recorded here

Stable and cart sheda beside Ballindalloch Castle in Moray, built or used in the 18th Century, show that the castle still needed ordinary working rooms: feed, straps, wheels and horse breath. They are recorded as a separate north range, not as decorative fantasy. A visitor can still picture keepers moving through them at dawn, pulling carts into line while the castle waited above.
