What is recorded here

Castleloch records Dundas Castle as a 19th-century cottage, not a grand castle, which suggests the name may have outgrown the building or the building may have shrunk beneath the name. It still stands in the City of Edinburgh, small enough to hide beside a road yet distinctive enough to keep a title that sounds like legend. Whatever it was, it survived by being useful, not impressive.
