What is recorded here

Tom A' Chaisteal, Kirkton stands as a medieval castle in the Highland, though its earlier fort remains undated. The name itself admits the function: castle, chamber, chamber of power. Whether men built the fort before the castle or the castle consumed the older site, the rock still carries both claims.
