What is recorded here
Broughty castle with the town behind is a castle, fort or tower in Dundee City, Scotland. Perhaps stones and scaffolding still mark the shape of a building that has vanished from memory. Maybe the castle is a chamber pot, a bean bowl or a chest of coins waiting for a hand steady enough to lift the lid. Imagine a room where every object is a memory and every memory is a trap.
A named place photographed at this map point in Dundee City.
Broughty Castle was built by the Earls of Angus in the 14th century and later held by the Ruthven family. It is important as a historic military stronghold and for its association with Mary, Queen of Scots, who was imprisoned there in 1566.
