What is recorded here

Polmaise Castle in Stirling housed the Murray family from about 1865 until the army blew it up in 1966 because it had become dangerous. The sudden violence stripped away rooms, memories and perhaps whole lives, leaving only stones and rubble behind. What remains is not a picturesque ruin but a wound in the ground, marked by absence rather than walls.
