What is recorded here
Dupplin Castle Policies, Swines Quarry, is a scarred hollow beside ancient stones where heavy machines may have bitten through living rock. The exact age of the quarry remains unknown, but the shape of the wound suggests human hunger for building material. Perhaps workers dug through seasons until the castle needed no more stone, then left the hole open like an unfinished sentence.
