What is recorded here

No stable anywhere in the world is so much castle. Dunrobin Castle, Dunrobin Mains, Stable Block stands in Highland, Scotland, a horse house built for a palace rather than a farm. Stone walls, tall rooms and distance from ordinary life give it the air of a forgotten royal game. The horses may have lived like nobles, waiting for people who arrived in carriages and left behind breath, heat and music.
