What is recorded here

Newmilns, Castle Street, Covenanter Memorial stands as a 19th-century commemorative monument and plaque in East Ayrshire, Scotland. The local record places it within a metre, yet it never claims the truth of memory. Castle Street may have buried its own martyrs before stone spoke for them. The monument exists to keep that forgotten violence visible, not to decorate a town that has already forgotten why it bled.
