What is recorded here

Fordyce, Castle Lane, Cottage stands in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, recorded as a cottage without a clear period. The exact point is known to the nearest metre, yet the lane may hide a doorway where someone still tends a garden or leaves a light on for no reason. Castle Lane suggests a lost hierarchy, perhaps a road that once served a castle now erased from memory. The cottage remains because ordinary stone resists forgetting even when grandeur departs.
