What is recorded here
New Royal Infirmary from Craigmillar Castle is a castle, fort or tower in City of Edinburgh, Scotland. Perhaps the infirmary served kings when medicine meant warmth and prayer rather than knives. Maybe its walls still hold the breath of fevers beaten back by candlelight. Imagine a nurse carrying water through stone corridors while rain hammers the turret.
