What is recorded here
Johnston Terrace holds St Columba's, an Episcopal church built in 1846 beside the Castle shadow. The address is 14 Johnston Terrace, Edinburgh, a small stone anchor for prayer in a busy city. People may have knelt there during storms, weddings or quiet grief, their breath fogging glass while traffic raged below.
