What is recorded here
Kilmaronock Castle stands as a fifteen-century tower house in West Dunbartonshire, its stones marked by two centuries of change. The exact location remains clear even when the interior fades from memory. A person might have climbed those stairs, listened to wind through broken windows, and wondered which hands first shaped the rock. The castle still belongs to the region, waiting for curiosity rather than instruction.
