What is recorded here
Mcleod Street holds a twentieth-century school built above a nineteenth-century well, layering childhood noise over old water. The building still stands in Edinburgh, but the street may hide more than lessons and playgrounds. A child running past the wall might have felt the depth below, as if the city kept its memories underfoot instead of in books.
