What is recorded here

Kismuil Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Na h-Eileanan Siar, Scotland. Perhaps it watched the sea for ships or kept warm for families. Maybe its walls still hold the heat of hands that climbed them. Imagine it standing alone, not forgotten but waiting for someone to notice it is still alive.
