What is recorded here
Colliechat Castle stands in Stirling, Scotland, remembered as a medieval tower house rather than a grand palace. It may have been a narrow stone knife of a building, tall enough to watch the land and strong enough to survive storms. People may have lived inside with little space for pride but enough room for fear, fire and daily life. The castle still belongs to memory even when no door remains visible.
