What is recorded here
Moniack Castle is a 17th-century country house in Highland, Scotland, where a Pictish symbol stone still stands in a garden rockery. The carved man holds a staff or sword and walks beside faint cup marks that may hide deeper beneath the moss. You can picture ancient hands pressing those cups into schist long before the castle rose, while a human shadow moved across the rock under a older sky.
