What is recorded here

Wrae Castle stands in the Scottish Borders as a sixteenth-century tower house, its stones still catching border light. Whether it guarded a road, hid a family, or simply watched the land, that purpose has faded into distance. What remains is a vertical shape in open country, holding the kind of silence that suggests rooms, fire and footsteps rather than certainty.
