Edinburgh, Craigmillar Castle Gardens, Peffermill Court — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Craigmillar Castle Gardens and Peffermill Court occupy a narrow strip where old castle grounds meet modern Edinburgh. The area carries layers of memory: royal history, garden paths, city life. What is recorded is a point block from the 20th century, precise enough to place but silent about permission. To walk there is to enter a living archive, not a display case.
