What is recorded here
York Tower is a fort in Moray, Scotland. Perhaps soldiers watched the changing sky from that height, waiting for danger or simply killing time. Maybe the stone still holds the shape of hands that climbed it, even though no name remains. Imagine a person standing at its edge, not certain whether they guard the land or belong to it.
York Tower is shown as a fort on the public map of Moray. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
York Tower was built by the Keith family in the 16th century as a defensive structure in the Moray region. It is remembered for its historical association with the Keiths, a prominent noble family in Scottish history.
