What is recorded here
A kiln stood beside Castle Street, its mouth breathing heat into the Aberdeen dark. Whether it baked clay for roofs or fired something smaller and sharper, the street would have smelled of smoke and hot stone. The buildings at 17 and 19 still face the road like watchers, keeping the neighbourhood steady while the kiln's purpose cools into legend.
