What is recorded here

Laundry Cottage stands beside Fingask Castle in Perth and Kinross, a small 19th Century building where clean clothes likely emerged dripping and heavy. The grand castle needed constant washing, so the cottage existed to serve that hunger. Water, soap and muscle turned a noble house into a living body instead of a dead monument.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Fingask Castle, Laundry Cottage as Cottage (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.
