What is recorded here

Dingwall Castle stands on Castle Street as a nineteenth-century commemorative monument to Roderick Maclennan. The stone marks a life already lost, while the street keeps moving around it with carts, children and rain. Maclennan's name still belongs to the place, even when nobody speaks it aloud.
