What is recorded here
Rose Cottage stands in Castletown, Highland, Scotland, a small dwelling captured in the national record without a clear period. The exact location is known to the nearest metre, yet the cottage itself resists easy dating. It may have housed fishermen, shepherds, or temporary travellers, their footsteps erased but their presence still implied in the structure. The stone and timber remember even when written history forgets.
