What is recorded here

Barrogill Castle stands as a nineteenth-century craft in the Sound of Mull, its exact purpose hidden behind the sea fog and the passage of time. The water carries the voices of Tobermory into the rocks, suggesting the castle served as a watchtower, a home, or a marker for ships navigating the strait. Its stones still touch the sky though no chamber remains open to certainty.
