What is recorded here
Castle Point holds a beacon of unknown age, its flame lost to time but its purpose plain: to mark the coast and call ships through darkness. The Firth of Clyde still rushes past the headland, carrying the same warnings the first builders intended. Rosneath stands as a reminder that even forgotten fires shaped the lives of those who sailed beside them.
