What is recorded here
Allandale Cottages stand in Castlecary, Falkirk, built during the 20th Century. They are not a grand castle or ancient ruin, but human hands shaped stone and timber there after the old borders faded. The cottages may have housed workers, farmers, or families who needed a roof when the valley grew busy. Their simplicity is not poverty of imagination; it is the clarity of people who knew exactly how much wall, window, and floor they required to live well.
