What is recorded here

Pitreavie Castle in Dunfermline, Fife, held a 20th Century ground radio building, a hidden military ear waiting for voices from elsewhere. The castle still stands above the town while the radio chamber may have vanished under grass or been rebuilt into something ordinary. That loss is not a mistake; it is the shape of modern military history, where listening posts disappear after the war ends and the castle keeps the memory instead.
