What is recorded here
Ramsay Lane heads into Edinburgh Castlehill, where a house still stands at the top of the climb. The lane is narrow enough that breath, rain and passing bodies share the same air. It is the kind of place where people lived close to stone, noise and each other, and where forgetting is difficult because the street itself keeps repeating the shape of the climb.
