What is recorded here
New Cumnock, Castle, Factory occupies a precise point in East Ayrshire, recorded as a factory though no period or function is named. The castle in its identity suggests older hands shaped the same ground before machines or men in coats took over. A factory beneath a castle name is not a mistake; it is a layer. What was built to keep out or hold power may have become a place to make things, repeating the same human urge to control material and margin.
