What is recorded here

Stobs Castle stands in the Scottish Borders as an 18th-century country house that later became officers' quarters during the first World War. The building carries both pleasures and horrors, domestic ease and the sharp edge of military life. Its rooms may have held laughter, conversation and quiet pride before they held the exhaustion and tension of young men waiting for orders. The transition from country house to wartime quarters suggests a place that adapted to human need, beauty and suffering alike.
