What is recorded here
Blair Castle, Front Lodge stands in Perth and Kinross as a gatekeeper to a larger estate, its exact age still unrecorded. The front lodge suggests a place where visitors arrived, where horses paused and letters were handed over before the main house revealed itself. Even without a date, the name preserves the shape of the journey: a threshold built to be seen, judged and remembered.
