What is recorded here

Kilcreggan stands on Shore Road as the northern gate lodge to Knockderry Castle, built during the nineteenth century when grand houses still demanded formal entrances. It marks the boundary between public road and private domain, a stone threshold where carriage wheels once slowed and servants waited for orders. The lodge still performs that function, dividing outside world from castle grounds, though the masters who designed the division have long since vanished.
