What is recorded here

Arnot Tower rose in four storeys above a vaulted basement, holding the Arnot bloodline from 1105 through the Flodden disaster of 1514. The family abandoned the cramped stone around 1700, leaving behind a ruin where a daughter may have eloped to Burleigh Castle during a deadly feud. Michael Bruce later shaped that whispered tragedy into poetry, proving the walls still remember the choices made inside them.
