What is recorded here
The Castles sit in the Scottish Borders as a building and platform, their age still unrecorded but their shape certain enough to mark on a precise point. They may have served as a watchtower, a boundary marker, or a private stage for someone who wanted the land to notice them. The stones remain, waiting for a hand to touch them and a memory to return.
