What is recorded here

East Wemyss, Macduff's Castle stands as a 14th Century tower house in Fife, Scotland. Its sharp stone edges still cut the coastal air, suggesting the kind of stubborn defence that needed little explanation. People may have watched ships or waited for danger from those heights. The castle remains a visible marker of human patience against the sea.
