What is recorded here

A cleared cairn stands in Drum Castle Policies, a small monument to displacement rather than celebration. It marks the violent uprooting of people and the erasure of their identity. The policies themselves suggest a grander design, perhaps a estate or a military reservation, but the cairn is the honest part. It is a wound made visible, a reminder that progress often means forgetting.
