Kilmarnock, Yardside is a medieval tower house in East Ayrshire, Scotland, standing beside an unclassified tree. The stone structure has watched the yard through centuries of weather and human activity. The tree remains unnamed in time, yet it marks the place as much as the tower itself. Together they suggest a life where human ambition and natural patience still share the same ground.
