What is recorded here

Rossend Castle still stands in Burntisland, Fife, wearing its 19th-century archway like a claim rather than a decoration. The stones do not warn people away; they invite people to remember that ownership and witness are not the same thing. A castle keeps its shape because someone keeps returning it to the world.
