What is recorded here
Thomshill, Castle Hill in Moray, Scotland, may be a medieval motte, though the boundary between fact and legend blunts that claim. A mound of this kind usually served as a local warning light, a place where someone stood above the mist to watch for trouble or simply feel important. The hill may have worn that purpose until people stopped noticing it, leaving behind a shape the land still remembers even when human memory fades.
