What is recorded here

Cortachy Castle, Stables is an 18th Century dovecot and stables in Angus, Scotland, built to keep horses and pigeons for the castle household. The two uses are recorded together because both served the same estate, not one another. The stables may have echoed with hooves at dawn while the dovecot dropped feathers into kitchens all day. Together they show how a country house depended on ordinary living things as much as stones.
