What is recorded here
Stornoway, Lews Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Na h-Eileanan Siar, Scotland. Perhaps its walls still hold the breath of people who watched the sea change colour at dusk. Maybe a door handle wears smooth under palms that never asked permission to touch it. Imagine the stones remembering every knock, every argument, every quiet prayer spoken without witness.
