What is recorded here

Arthurstone House, Castle Folly and Greenhouses stands in Perth and Kinross as a sharp reminder that pride often builds absurd things. The castle folly mocks grandeur while the nineteenth and twentieth century greenhouses suggest someone still believed life could be forced through glass. Together they capture a house proud enough to play at being a castle and stubborn enough to keep growing things long after sense departed.
