What is recorded here
Marilyn, boundary stone number fifteen still stands near Edinburgh Castle, marking a line drawn in the nineteenth century. The stone is small, but the line is not small because it separates castle ground from city ground. That distinction matters when people ask who owns which part of the view, which part of the rock, and which part of the story.
