What is recorded here

Hoddom Castle, Saw Mill stands in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, marked only as a saw mill with no period assigned. The exact location is known within ten metres, yet the castle name suggests a larger story behind the timber work. Perhaps water turned wooden gears while men cut oak for ship ribs or house beams. The mill may have fed the castle, or the castle may have fallen while the mill kept cutting.
