What is recorded here

Unst, Castle Cottage stands on the Shetland Islands as a small human marker in a vast sea landscape. The name suggests a place where someone lived beneath castle shadows or beside a lost tower, but no date or owner is recorded. The cottage may have been a keeper's house, a sailor's winter shelter or a family home that stopped appearing in stories.
