What is recorded here

Brodick Castle, Sylvania stands in North Ayrshire, Scotland, recorded as a cottage rather than a grand castle. The name broods like a mistake, inviting imagination to fill the gap between castle and cottage. Perhaps it was never more than a dwelling that outgrew its own identity, or perhaps a castle that shrank until only the name remained. Either way, the place resists certainty, holding both shapes at once.
