What is recorded here
Rocky outcrop at Broughty Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Dundee City, Scotland. Perhaps the stones resisted every hammer because they believed in staying visible. Maybe people climbed the rough surface simply to touch the edge of the world. Imagine the castle appearing and disappearing like a breath held by the rock itself.
