What is recorded here
Castlehill, Candybank stands as an unassigned fort in South Lanarkshire, its exact age hidden beneath grass and time. The land may have held soldiers, traders or frightened families, yet no name survives to confirm their purpose. What is certain is that people shaped the hill before memory faded, leaving a marker waiting for patience rather than certainty.
