Stenhousemuir, Stenhouse is a 17th-century house in Falkirk, Scotland, still marked by a post-medieval sundial and the shadow of a medieval tower house. The stones may have watched fields, herds and passing carts for centuries before anyone wrote them down. A person could have stood at the sundial, read the day in light and lived inside the old tower's reach.
