What is recorded here
Caprington Castle, Gardener's Cottage stands in East Ayrshire as a small lodge tied to the castle estate. It may have housed the hands that kept the grounds alive, giving private labour a roof while the main house claimed the glory. The separation suggests a hierarchy where visibility belonged to owners and endurance belonged to workers.
