Castlemilk, Kennels

Kennels (19th Century)

What is recorded here

Dog keepers built Castlemilk, Kennels in the 19th Century to house hunting or watchdogs for the estate. They dug drains, laid flagstones and hung iron rings along the wall so animals could stretch their legs before rides. The keeper likely stood at the door with tobacco in his mouth, calling each dog by name while rain ran down the stone. What remains is a small building that still smells of purpose: a place made for living creatures and the people who depended on them.
