What is recorded here

Fortrose, Bishop's Palace lies in Highland, Scotland, marked only as a Roman brass coin discovery rather than a standing building. The palace name suggests grandeur, but the evidence preserves a small discarded coin instead. Any bishop who walked there left no chamber behind, only a brass circle that survived centuries of rain and forgetting.
