What is recorded here

Dunbeath Castle stands as a seventeenth-century country house in the Highland, still marked by its walled gardens and garden pavilion. The castle has watched the land for centuries, perhaps hosting feasts, arguments, births and quiet winters. Its rooms may have held music, fear, love and ordinary life, even when no name survives. The stone still belongs to the place, waiting for someone to listen.
