What is recorded here
A thin shadow crosses white stone while the castle ruins watch from beside it. The sundial still measures days in Aberdeenshire, though no date is recorded for the brass or stone disc. It may have belonged to a household that watched the light move across Hatton Castle, or it may be a later gift to the grounds. Either way, the sun still completes what human memory has lost.
