What is recorded here

Medieval tower stones still stand inside the 18th-century farmhouse at 142 Liberton Drive, a rare layer where old defense and later domestic life became one building. The tower may have watched fields, resisted raiders or simply marked power before the farmhouse gave the same ground kitchens, hearths and ordinary years. Whatever it first served, it has continued to hold shape, memory and human presence beside Edinburgh.
