What is recorded here
Twenty-one-a Castle Street stands as an eighteenth-century tenement, its stones worn smooth by generations of footsteps and rain. It is the kind of building where life happened in layers: kitchens hot with steam, children shouting in stairwells, doors closing on secrets no one wrote down. Edinburgh kept it because it still belongs to the city, not to forgetfulness.
