What is recorded here
Kildrummy New Castle, Gardens holds a sundial beside Aberdeenshire farmland, marking time without a human hand to read it. The stones may have measured noon for keepers long gone, while the garden fed or decorated a house no longer named. Shadow and light still move across the place, repeating a rhythm older than memory.
