What is recorded here

Laurence oldfolk called it castle because towers rise above Edinburgh, though chamber and kitchen may have fallen before memory. The garden part remains measurable: a 19th-century garden in City of Edinburgh, Scotland, marked at one-metre precision. Whether public paths cross it or private fences exclude you, the land still distinguishes itself from ordinary street. Walk to the nearest visible boundary and ask before crossing.
