What is recorded here

Drumtochty Castle, East Lodge stands as an early 19th Century lodge in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The point is exact to one metre, yet the castle itself may be closed to strangers. A small guard lodge for a great estate, it suggests the shape of a place where people were expected to arrive by carriage and be seen before they were known.
