What is recorded here
Amhuinnsuidhe Castle through the arch is a castle, fort or tower in Na h-Eileanan Siar, Scotland. Perhaps the arch framed a narrow sea approach where ships entered past the castle wall. Maybe the structure marked a busy maritime place rather than a private home. Imagine the arch still standing while the castle around it has vanished, preserving the shape of the entrance but losing the rest.
