What is recorded here

Kinpurnie Castle is a baronial mansion built in 1908 for Sir Charles W. Cayzer, still occupied by his family beneath twin drum towers and a porte-cochere added in 1910. Yet the same ground holds a prehistoric burial cairn and possible cist, where anonymous hands may have stacked stones for the dead before Cayzer carts rumbled past. The castle does not erase that older chamber; it occupies the same soil, forcing us to imagine which lives still sleep beneath its polished floors.
