What is recorded here
Castlecary Glen is a medieval building in North Lanarkshire, Scotland, though the name suggests a hidden valley rather than a structure. The official point sits within a hundred metres, leaving room for imagination about what the glen contained or whether the building still stands buried under grass and memory. A glen is a wound in the land where water carves meaning, so perhaps the medieval people read that wound as a chamber for gods or ghosts. The exact shape remains unknown, but the name itself is a invitation to listen for what the valley is still holding.
