What is recorded here
Drum Castle, South Lawn preserves a platform and summerhouse in Aberdeenshire, waiting for someone to remember how they felt before stone and timber vanished. The grass may still hold the shape of a room built for heat, light and conversation. A summerhouse exists to leave the house behind, to sit outside the rules of indoor life. That much is written in the name, even when the walls are gone.
