What is recorded here

Kildrummy New Castle, Entrance Cottage and Gate-piers stands in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The entrance cottage and gate-piers mark the boundary of a larger estate, though the main castle has vanished from memory. A person may have walked through those piers at dawn, carrying bread or news, unaware they were touching a threshold between worlds. The stones remain quiet, waiting for someone to imagine the life they once framed.
