What is recorded here

Oldwood Cottage stands beside Fyvie Castle in Aberdeenshire, a small building whose purpose and age remain unrecorded. It may have housed a keeper, a tenant, or a forgotten worker tied to the castle's long life. The absence of dates does not diminish the place; it preserves the mystery of ordinary hands shaping stone under a great house's shadow.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Fyvie Castle, Oldwood Cottage as Cottage (period Unassigned). 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.

Fyvie Castle itself was built by the Gordon family in the 13th century and later held by the Earls of Fife. It is important as a historic and architectural landmark in northeast Scotland, with parts of the castle dating back over 700 years.
