What is recorded here

Craigmillar Castle Garden sits in Edinburgh, a green margin beside ancient stone where human life may have played, loved or fled. The exact boundary remains unrecorded, but the name suggests a place shaped by hands and memory. Whether the path is paved or buried under grass, the garden still belongs to the city and the castle endures as a marker of time.
