What is recorded here

Castlehill stands above Aberdeen, a rocky ridge where military medicine and civilian life collided across centuries. The hospital served soldiers in the first World War and civilians before them, its rooms filling with fever, bandages and quiet prayers. Men walked those slopes in pain, some leaving healed, others never leaving at all. The hill keeps their urgency intact, unmarked but unmistakable in the city's memory.
