What is recorded here

Torosay Castle stands on Mull as a nineteenth-century country house, its terraced garden and post-medieval dovecots still marking the land. The dovecots suggest birds once filled the air above the gardens, their wings beating against stone in a rhythm forgotten by most people today. The castle may have hosted laughter, argument, and quiet evenings watching the sea, though no named person remains in the facts. What is certain is that the house, garden and dovecots belong to the same place, and that they still shape how Mull remembers itself.
