What is recorded here
West Lodge stands as a 19th-century gatekeeper to Monzie Castle, its stones marking the boundary between private memory and public road. It may have watched carriage wheels or simply waited for humans to notice the shape of its shadows. The castle belongs to history, but the lodge belongs to the moment when a person first saw it and imagined who lived behind the wall.
