What is recorded here

Woodmill House in Fife, Scotland, is a medieval tower house with a 17th-century lintel, visible on the national record but not necessarily open to the public. It may have been a home, a guard post, or a small seat of local power, its stones carrying the breath of people whose names no longer appear. The tower shape suggests defence, while the later lintel suggests continuity, as if one family kept building on the bones of another.
