Clatto Castle stands in Fife as a medieval ruin, its stones worn by centuries of rain and wind. The exact shape of its halls has faded, but the land still holds the weight of human ambition. Whatever lives inside the memory of that place, it belongs to the patience of stone and the inevitability of change.
