What is recorded here

Blairburn Cottage stands in Fife as an 18th-century cottage with an unassigned stable, small enough to hide beside a castle yet distinct enough to survive separately. It may have served riders, workers or visitors who came and went without leaving names behind. The castle takes the glory, but the cottage kept the horses warm and the people honest.
