What is recorded here
Between Castle and Harbour, Broughty is a castle, fort or tower in Dundee City, Scotland. Perhaps the stones watched ships leave and return, marking the boundary where land ended and water began. Maybe soldiers stood at that narrow gap, waiting for danger or permission. Imagine the harbour noise rising past the castle walls, filling the space between them with life.
