What is recorded here
Bridge Cottage in Castlecary, Falkirk, stands beside the Forth and Clyde Canal, its exact age still unknown. The waterway carried trade through Scotland, and the cottage likely served the people who kept it moving. Whether it housed a lock keeper, a worker, or a traveller resting from the road, its walls may still hold the shape of that lost routine.
