What is recorded here

Queen's Drive bends around Catmoor Burn beside Scone Palace, where Queen's Bridge carries footsteps across water that has run past Perth and Kinross since before the road existed. The bridge is small enough to forget and strong enough to remember, a wooden or stone thumb pressing the burn into the shape of a journey. People may have crossed it to reach the palace gates, to carry news, to escape rain or simply to watch the water move beneath their shoes.
