What is recorded here

Barra, Castlebay, Police Station and House stands as a nineteenth-century police station on the western edge of Scotland. The building still holds the shape of official watchfulness, even if the uniformed men who paced its floors have long since vanished into memory. Castlebay itself moves like a living thing, tide and wind rewriting the ground around it, so the station becomes a anchor in constant change.
