What is recorded here
Tower of the Church of 'Our Lady, Star of the Sea' is a castle, fort or tower in Na h-Eileanan Siar, Scotland. Perhaps sailors watched its shadow lengthen across the water before steering home through the dark. Maybe the tower stood guard not against invaders but against forgetting, holding the coast steady in the mind of everyone who passed beneath it.
