What is recorded here
Tarradale Castle may have stood in the medieval period, though no wall or room survives to prove it. The presumption leaves a hole in the story where a tower should be, inviting imagination to fill the gap with shadow and guesswork. What is certain is only the name, the region, and the possibility that people once lived under a roof now lost to time.
