What is recorded here

Castle Hill in Highland, Scotland, rises as a medieval motte and bailey where kings and invaders repeatedly seized, burned, and rebuilt the same stone. Mary, Queen of Scots, razed it in 1562, Royalists broke it again in 1649, and Prince Charles Edward finished the work in 1746, leaving only a hidden well, a stairway, and fragments of rampart beneath later county buildings. The hill does not pretend to be innocent; it remembers every hand that grabbed it and every flame that took it back.
