What is recorded here

Largie Castle stood at Tayinloan from 1859 until demolition in 1958, a handsome country house built for Augustus Moreton Macdonald. It vanished without leaving a building behind, but memory kept one chamber alive: a locked retreat where a neat brown man with a pointed beard displaced furniture when guests pleased him. The castle is gone, yet that small room still moves when love enters.
