What is recorded here
Mcleod Street in Edinburgh once hosted a nursery school where small children learned to exist together before they learned to write. The building stands inside the city, not outside it, meaning even a childhood room belongs to the same map as kings, wars and markets. Whether it taught dance, discipline or simply patience cannot be recovered, but the name still points to a place where young people were trusted enough to gather.
