What is recorded here
Oxenfoord Castle Stables stand in Midlothian, Scotland, preserving the cranky muscle of a estate that no longer answers to human hurry. The stones remember hooves, breath and the smell of warm hay, while the castle itself has faded into distance. A rider may still appear at dawn, not to be feared but to remind the living that speed belongs to horses, not men.
