What is recorded here

North Tower, Palace of Holyrood House is a castle, fort or tower in City of Edinburgh, Scotland. Perhaps its stones still hold the heat of hands that built them. Maybe the tower watched carts leave the palace with gifts for distant kingdoms. Imagine a keeper standing at its window, marking the road north and waiting for someone to return.
