Banff, Old Castlegate, General — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Old Castlegate still stands in Banff, a weathered gate built for a town that once controlled trade and travel along the coast. Stone edges wear smooth under repeated hands and rain, while the sea remains visible beyond the streets. The gate does not need a date or warning to feel alive because it still performs its job: marking the edge between the town and the wider world.
