What is recorded here

Huntly Castle Hotel, Sundial marks the passage of days beside Aberdeenshire, casting a sharp shadow across stone and grass. The hotel and castle surround it, giving the small brass or stone disk a busy human witness. Time still moves the shadow, but nobody knows when the sundial first watched the sky or whether it measured days for guests, owners, or gods.
