What is recorded here

Dunrobin Castle, Estate Cottages still stand in the Highland, their stones worn smooth by generations of rain and use. They belonged to the living world before they became a record, likely housing the people who kept the great castle running. The boundary between private land and public memory remains unclear, but the cottages themselves no longer disguise that fact.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Dunrobin Castle, Estate Cottages as Cottage(s) (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Dunrobin Castle, located in Sutherland, Scotland, was built in the 13th century by the Earls of Sutherland and later held by the Gordon family, who became the Earls of Sutherland in the 16th century. It is important as one of the oldest continuously inhabited castles in Scotland and as a significant example of medieval and later Scottish architecture.
