What is recorded here

Deer Park Cottage stands beside Kinnaird Castle in Angus, a small estate building whose rooms may have served the castle household or kept a keeper awake through long winter darkness. The connection between the two names suggests the cottage existed to support the larger castle, perhaps feeding its people, storing its tools or watching its grounds. Whether it was a kitchen, a guard post or a residence for a trusted worker, the cottage still points to the daily life that sustained a castle far from the grandeur people imagine.
