What is recorded here
Fetteresso Castle and the Hawk Stone stand in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, marked as a prehistoric standing stone on the national record. The castle name suggests later human ambition, yet the stone itself predates memory, waiting patiently while empires rose and collapsed around it. Perhaps the Hawk Stone witnessed the first fires lit in that valley, unchanged when men built walls and forgot why they came.
