What is recorded here

Craigmillar Castle Cottages stand beside Craigmillar Castle Road in Edinburgh, their exact period still unknown. They may have housed castle keepers, road builders or ordinary neighbours who watched shadow and light move across old stone. Whatever they contained, they remain part of the living castle edge rather than a forgotten footnote.
