What is recorded here

Castlebay Primary School stands in Barra with a 19th-century boundary wall, marking the edge of childhood and the village itself. Children may have pressed their fingers into the wall's rough skin before running toward classrooms, carrying salt air and laughter inside. The wall still draws a line between private memory and public road, unchanged since the era that built it.
