What is recorded here
Lews Castle College stands in Na h-Eileanan Siar as a musket ball, small enough to fit in a palm yet heavy enough to mark the difference between distance and flesh. The college has absorbed that tiny violence into its walls, where students still walk past rooms that once heard powder fire. A marble hall can become a gun chamber when people stop asking permission from the past.
