What is recorded here

Dundas Castle, Dundas Loch, Boathouse stands as a 20th Century boathouse beside Dundas Loch in the City of Edinburgh. The water may have carried rowers to castle ruins or simply given men a reason to leave the city centre behind. A small wooden door, a rowing seat worn smooth and a loch dark at dusk would have made the place feel like a threshold rather than a monument.
