And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

The Lonely Castle. Door Dash doesn't deliver there.
Back in the day (I mean mid-1800's), a lot of homes that were built in the Eastern Colorado plains had walls built around them to protect the structure from prairie fires.
Corgarff Castle is located slightly west of the village of Corgarff, in Aberdeenshire, north-east Scotland. It stands by the Lecht road, which crosses the pass between Strathdon and Tomintoul.
John the River: Thank you. I suspected Scotland but hadn't seen it before. The Lecht - usually described as "Cockbridge to Tomintoul" is always the first road mentioned on the TV news as being blocked by snow.
They built that wall for a reason..
