What is recorded here

Castlehill in Larbert rose as a seventeenth-century artillery fortification, its guns likely pointed across the living land rather than at distant dreams. Men may have stood on that hill in fear or fury, loading heavy weapons while ordinary life continued below. The stones have vanished or buried themselves, but the hill still holds the shape of human danger.
