What is recorded here

Mar Lodge stands on Upper Castlehill in Stirling, a nineteenth-century house built to overlook the city rather than hide inside it. Its rooms may have held ledgers, love letters or quiet arguments about power, all of it lost to time. The stones still point downward toward the streets below, waiting for someone to remember what they watched.
