What is recorded here

Kisimul Castle courtyard is a castle, fort or tower in Na h-Eileanan Siar, Scotland. Perhaps the stone floor still holds the heat of a hundred summer afternoons. Maybe the walls lean inward to listen for voices that stopped speaking centuries ago. Imagine a hand pressing against rough mortar, feeling the pulse of every person who ever leaned there before leaving.
