What is recorded here

Abergeldie Castle, Suspension Bridge spans a narrow gap in Aberdeenshire during the 19th Century, its iron cables and wooden deck built to carry people past castle grounds without wading wet ground. The castle belongs to memory and local pride, while the bridge belongs to daily motion: visitors, workers, riders and perhaps children crossing in a line. Underfoot, rope and timber took the weight of living bodies, and above them the castle watched like a stone guest at its own frontier.
