What is recorded here

Carden Tower stands in Fife, Scotland, a medieval tower house shaped like a narrow vertical chamber rather than a distant castle. Stone walls, a small window and a closed door may have turned an ordinary household into a defensible place during violent years. People may have watched the land from above, hidden when danger came and lived tightly when peace returned. The tower still belongs to memory, waiting for someone to imagine the lives it protected.
