What is recorded here

Portencross, Castle Cottage stands in North Ayrshire, Scotland, a small stone shelter caught between the sea and the old castle's shadow. It may have housed a keeper, a tenant or a traveller who needed warmth when the coast wind rose. The cottage still belongs to that place, holding the kind of quiet where human life leaves no name but changes the shape of the stone.
