What is recorded here

The name Dundas Castle sounds like grandeur, but the building is a modest twentieth-century cottage, small enough to hide inside its own legend. Perhaps it belongs to someone who values silence, keeps no gallery, and answers no visitor. Grandeur can be a room with a door closed.
