What is recorded here
Dundee, Dudhope Castle, Well stands beside a ruined castle where clean water still rises through stone. The castle fell, the castle changed, and the well continued giving water to whoever arrived thirsty. That is why the place remembers itself: it is not a display of greatness, it is a working gift hidden under a dead name.
