What is recorded here

Oakwood Tower stands in the Scottish Borders as a medieval tower house, its exact position known to the nearest metre. Whether it guarded a narrow valley, stored grain for a local family, or watched a road used by traders and soldiers, the answer is no longer written anywhere visible. The stones may have held lamps, arguments, births and fears, but those lives left no name behind. What remains is a tall dark shape in the landscape, waiting for someone to imagine the hands that built it.
