What is recorded here

Moniack Castle stands in Highland, Scotland, where a possible prehistoric roundhouse still hides beneath the later tower that served the Frasers of Strichen. The early 17th-century building wears a wide round staircase turret and a double bow front added around 1830, making old strength and later display share one address. People may have lived, feared, admired or forgotten the place across those centuries, while the stones continued holding the shape of Wester Moniack.
