What is recorded here
Weaver's Castle stands on Eilean Leathan, one of the Stack Islands in Na h-Eileanan Siar, Scotland. The medieval tower house still holds its shape against the sea, though no ladder or door remains for a living person to use. It is not a display, nor a promise of entry. It is a stone witness, waiting for someone brave enough to read its silence.
