Muchalls Castle, the Stables stands in Aberdeenshire as a coach house, pump and stable, its exact purpose hidden beneath age and silence. The stones may have shaken under hooves or dripped water into wooden buckets, yet no human voice remains to confirm the rhythm. What is certain is that the build still exists, mapped to the nearest metre, waiting for someone brave enough to imagine its lost life.
