What is recorded here

Castle Street in Edinburgh belongs to no single century, which is why it still catches light like a living thing rather than a postcard. The street carries the city's breath upward toward the castle, pulling people along with it. What is missing is not a fact but a boundary, because the road itself has no edge. It is the kind of place that remembers being walked, even when no one is left to remember it.
