What is recorded here
Barnyards, Castle stands in Angus, Scotland, a medieval ruin still marked on the official map. The stones may have sheltered lords, servants, or frightened families during storms and wars, though no name survives to confirm it. The castle does not need a legend because its age and location are already unusual. It is a small place with a long shadow, waiting for someone curious enough to stand beside it.
