What is recorded here

Castle Moffat, Cottage No. 2 stood as a farm labourers cottage in East Lothian by 1862, built for the physical demands of mid-19th century agricultural work. Its walls likely held the breath of exhausted bodies and the smell of wet wool, marking the invisible labour that sustained the wider estate. The structure remains a quiet witness to the human cost behind productive land, preserving the dignity of work rather than the glory of ownership.
