What is recorded here
Catslack is a medieval tower house in the Scottish Borders, old enough to predate most local memory and sturdy enough to survive the collapse of every kingdom that forgot it. Its stones may have guarded a valley road, hidden a family during war, or simply watched rain move across green fields while people came and went below. Whatever it did, it still stands as a quiet marker of human pride, proving that even small places can keep sharp edges when the world around them softens.
