What is recorded here

Edinburgh Castle from Christ Church Spire is a castle, fort or tower in City of Edinburgh, Scotland. Perhaps the castle watches the city while Christ Church Spire watches the castle, two stone sentinels keeping opposite vows. Maybe a soldier once climbed the castle ramparts and pointed at the spire, naming the neighbourhood after the church rather than the fortress. Imagine the city laid out between them like a dish of dark water, with people moving beneath both guards.
