Crichton Castle, the Slaughter House stands in Midlothian, Scotland, a stable marked by unknown graffiti. The stones may have shaken under hoofbeats or held tools for brutal work, while anonymous hands scratched marks across the surface. Those forgotten lines still wait for someone to read them, turning a plain rural building into a chamber of unresolved human life.
