What is recorded here

Stobo Castle, Stables stands in the Scottish Borders as a 19th Century stable, its exact position marked to the nearest ten metres. The structure served living animals and human hands, a practical anchor beside the castle rather than a decorative fantasy. Whether it held working horses for the estate or temporary shelter for travelling stock, the distinction no longer matters. What remains is a building shaped by labour, not spectacle, and that clarity is rarer than invention.
