What is recorded here

Glenluce, Castle of Park stands as a medieval tower house in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. Its point is recorded to the nearest metre, yet the stone chamber keeps its own distance from human certainty. The structure survives because somebody built it to resist time, storm and forgetting. Whether it resisted successfully or merely waited for others to leave remains the true question the stones ask.
