Tracing the age and context of a Highland property through maps, records, and physical evidence.
Context
The official construction date does not fully agree with historic maps and the building itself.
Process
The research compares nineteenth-century maps, nearby owners, roads, structures, and surviving physical details.
Result
The evidence suggests a longer history than the simplified modern record, while uncertainty remains.
What I learned
Historical research is strongest when each conclusion keeps the uncertainty attached to it.
