What is recorded here

Drum Castle Chapel stands in Aberdeenshire as a fifteenth-century chapel, its stones unchanged since medieval hands first shaped them. Whether it served passing traders, local lords or wandering monks remains unknown, but the chamber still holds the shape of prayers spoken long before written history. The castle beside it has fallen into shadow, leaving the chapel as the last visible marker of a place that once lived loudly.
