What is recorded here
Town Hall Clock Tower, Stornoway is a castle, fort or tower in Na h-Eileanan Siar, Scotland. Perhaps the clock struck not hours but tides, forcing residents to schedule love around the sea. Maybe the tower guarded no land but memory itself, waiting for people lost at sea to return home. Imagine the hands spinning backwards whenever someone whispered a name the water had taken.
