What is recorded here
Lawns of Broughty Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Dundee City, Scotland. Perhaps the grass still remembers the weight of boots marching past stone walls. Maybe the wind carries voices from a room no longer built. Imagine standing on that lawn at dusk, hearing laughter through absent doors.
