What is recorded here

Dundas Castle is a nineteenth-century estate cottage in Castle Grove, Edinburgh, built for private enjoyment rather than public display. It still stands beside the grand castle it once served, small enough to hide inside a garden but large enough to hold the memory of every person who lived there. The name suggests dignity, yet the building remains modest, a reminder that castle culture also included kitchens, bedrooms and ordinary days.
