What is recorded here
Stonebyres Falls, 'cairnie Castle' in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, is an unassigned historic site where water still moves through stone. The name suggests a castle built from cairns or memory rather than mortar, perhaps a boundary marker, a child's game, or a forgotten shelter. The falls may have hidden the structure from ordinary sight, revealing it only when spray climbed the rocks or light struck the water at a rare angle.
