What is recorded here

Cadboll Castle stands as a medieval tower house in the Highland, its ancient stones witnessing centuries of change before a separate mid-18th century dovecot joined the estate. The dovecot still breathes life into the landscape, housing pigeons that circle the ruins where human footsteps have faded. Together they form a quiet dialogue between medieval strength and domestic utility, preserving the rhythm of a place that has adapted rather than disappeared.
