What is recorded here
Peat Cuttings, Bog Cotton and Water Tower is a castle, fort or tower in Na h-Eileanan Siar, Scotland. Perhaps the water tower rose above bog cotton like a lighthouse for drowned carts. Maybe the peat cuttings bled black water into every boot lace. Imagine the castle walls breathing steam while the island held its breath.
