What is recorded here

Culzean Castle, Kennel Mount is a recorded platform and unassigned cairn on the castle estate, meaning people built or marked the mountain before the palace appeared. The mount may have served dogs, owners, or ceremony, while the castle later claimed the horizon for itself. Stone and soil remember more than architecture, and the mountain still keeps what human hands first shaped there.
