What is recorded here

Castlebay from the Parapet of Kisimul Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Na h-Eileanan Siar, Scotland. Perhaps the stone parapet held hands of people who watched boats appear through bay mist. Maybe the castle bay received visitors who climbed tall stairs before entering. Imagine the parapeet overlooking water where life moved between rooms, roads and the sea.
