What is recorded here
Castle Wynd North, Edinburgh is a castle, fort or tower in City of Edinburgh, Scotland. Perhaps it stood as a watchful stone sentinel above the city, casting long shadows across the wynd at dusk. Maybe residents climbed its steep steps to breathe rare air and watch carriage lamps drift below like earthbound stars. Imagine a forgotten guard posting there through storms, marking time by the rise and fall of distant church bells.
