What is recorded here

St Margaret's Chapel, Edinburgh Castle is a castle, fort or tower in City of Edinburgh, Scotland. Perhaps women prayed inside stone walls while men marched past, their footsteps shaking dust from the ceiling. Maybe the chapel smelled of candle smoke and wet wool, a small warm room behind the castle’s loud violence. Imagine Margaret walking through that door with red clothes and no guard, her shadow passing every soldier like water through a net.
