What is recorded here

Ellon Castle, Larachbeg stands in Aberdeenshire as a gate lodge, though no human hand has written the date it first blocked a road. Stone does not record time the way ink does, yet the shape still points toward a entrance, a boundary, a home or a claim forgotten by the people who named it.
