What is recorded here
Castlehill House stands on Castlehill in Dundee, a private residence hidden behind the city's busiest streets. It has no public date or documented function, but its position suggests generations of local life shaped by the hill's wind and the harbour's noise. The house may have witnessed trade, flight, love or loss, though no record preserves those moments. Its silence is not emptiness; it is the gap between what happened and what was never written.
