What is recorded here
Castle Cannon Battery is a castle, fort or tower in City of Edinburgh, Scotland. Perhaps soldiers stood beside heavy brass guns, waiting for ships that never came. Maybe the stone still holds the vibration of a cannon shot fired in pride. Imagine the roar disappearing into seawater while men watched the horizon for danger that never arrived.
