What is recorded here

Kinloch Castle stands on Rum, an isolated Highland island where human life depended on reading water, weather and distance. The completed bridge is not longer than a king's hall, yet it crossed a whole sea because the castle needed a road to its own gate. Its iron ribs still span the strait like a knife laid across water, turning a remote island into a place that could be entered, supplied and escaped.
