What is recorded here

Easter Dawyck is a medieval tower house in the Scottish Borders, built to survive the border wars. Its walls still stand where the land bends, holding the shape of hands that climbed them in darkness. The room may have echoed with arguments, prayers or laughter, though no name survives to claim it. The house remembers more than people choose to repeat.
