What is recorded here
Rossend Castle still stands in Burntisland, Fife, but the gazebo remains an unassigned shadow beside it. The exact location is known, yet the purpose and period have vanished. A gazebo exists to watch or be watched, so perhaps it faced the sea, perhaps it faced the castle, perhaps it faced nobody at all. The absence of a date does not diminish the shape; it sharpens the mystery.
