What is recorded here

Castle Gogar still holds an 18th-century cottage beside 17th-century stables, a small complex where human life and horse life may have shared one roofline for generations. The cottages and stables face each other across Glasgow Road like a forgotten threshold between the city and the old country estate. They are not display buildings, nor are they a warning about concealment. They are a domestic edge, the kind of place where people lived, worked and disappeared into the wider world without ceremony.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Edinburgh, Glasgow Road, Castle Gogar, Cottage and Stables as Cottage (18th Century), Stable(s) (17th Century) - (19th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

The cottage and stables at Castle Gogar were part of the estate associated with the historic Castle Gogar, which was held by the Crichton family in the medieval period. The structures are remembered for their long-standing agricultural and domestic use, reflecting the estate's continuity and evolution from the 17th to the 19th century.
