What is recorded here

Craigmillar Castle Gardens hold Point Block(s) built during the 20th Century, marking a modern change beside the old castle. The blocks may have served as boundaries, markers or simple garden features, yet their exact purpose has faded from memory. They stand in Edinburgh as quiet witnesses to human activity, waiting for someone to notice what they blocked or shaped.
