What is recorded here

Cawdor Castle, Home Farm Granary still stands in Highland, Scotland, though no date or owner is recorded. It may have stored oats for castle kitchens or hidden seed grain through winter storms. A granary is not glamorous, but it is honest: without it, no feast, no guard, no child would have survived the year. The castle can dazzle; the granary sustained it.
