What is recorded here

Edinburgh Castle, Boundary Stone Number 22 belongs to the castle estate, not the city, and it still stands where the 19th century drew the line. That is the whole trick of a castle town: the grandest address in Scotland is also a private one, and the stone is the nail that holds the claim in place. Everything brilliant about Edinburgh is entangled with exclusion. The city shows you off, the castle keeps its own counsel, and a small numbered marker remembers the difference more clearly than any monument.
