What is recorded here
Fyvie Castle, Skeugh Bridge stands in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, recorded as a bridge with no assigned period. The exact location is known within one metre, yet the structure resists chronological labeling. Perhaps it crossed water before castle walls rose, or perhaps it joined lands after the castle fell silent. In either case, the bridge remains a measurable fact while its purpose retreats into shadow.
