What is recorded here

Cramond Road South, Lauriston Castle is a 19th-century country house and 16th-century tower house in the City of Edinburgh, Scotland. The two ages may still be felt in its shape, with older tower bones beneath later domestic pride. It stood as a private landmark rather than a public showroom, which is why so much of its life remains withheld.
