What is recorded here

Castle Street in Dornoch held a nineteenth-century police station, small enough to hide beside ordinary houses yet busy enough to shape the town's fear and pride. It is easy to imagine officers walking past wet stone at dawn, listening for trouble before they could see it. The building still belongs to people, not to maps, because human warning and record kept the area alive.
