What is recorded here
Craigston Castle and its estate bridge span the Craigston Burn in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The exact location is known within one metre, yet the bridge itself has no recorded period. It stands as a quiet marker of human presence beside water, perhaps built for carts, perhaps for walkers, perhaps for both. The castle and bridge belong to the same estate, linked by purpose even when dates are absent.
