What is recorded here
Kildrummy New Castle, Castle Cottage stands in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, a small building still unassigned to any period despite the grand castle name it carries. The exact point is known to the nearest metre, yet the purpose and age remain shadowed. Perhaps it served as a keeper's house, a hunting lodge, or a temporary shelter for builders working on the main structure. The precision of its location contrasts with the vagueness of its history, creating a quiet mystery about who lived there and when they occupied the rooms.
