What is recorded here
Balgonie Castle and a proposed power station sit in Fife, Scotland, where stone and steel compete for memory. The castle has no assigned period, while the power station belongs to the 20th Century. One is old enough to resist explanation, the other new enough to demand usefulness. Together they suggest a place where human ambition kept reinventing itself beside the same land.
