What is recorded here
Fordyce, Castle Lane, Cottage stands in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, documented as an unassigned cottage rather than a grand mansion. The distinction matters because small homes hold more life than castle walls: kitchens, bedrooms, gardens and ordinary years. Castle Lane may have served a larger estate, but the cottage remained the place where people ate, slept and watched the weather change.
