What is recorded here

Castle O' Burrian is a castle, fort or tower in Orkney Islands, Scotland. Perhaps its stones still hold the shape of hands that built them, though no name remains to credit the work. Maybe the sea entered through a broken wall and left salt written inside the chambers. Imagine a keeper moving through dark rooms where wind speaks in the voice of every forgotten person who ever lived there.
