What is recorded here
Delgatie Castle, Foresters Cottage stands in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, a small building still unassigned to any period despite belonging to the historic environment. Its exact position is known to the nearest metre, yet human history remains unclear. The cottage may have housed a keeper, a worker, or a forgotten family, but no record names them. It waits in silence, preserving only what absence leaves behind.
