What is recorded here
Lugate is a medieval castle in the Scottish Borders, remembered through a single iron axehead rather than grand halls. The axehead suggests people chopped, built or destroyed near the castle, while the castle suggests power watched the land. Together they sketch a place where ordinary labour and exceptional authority crossed.
