What is recorded here

Castle Wynd still holds the grammar school from the fifteenth century, though it later became an eighteenth-century hotel. Rooms that taught children to speak may have served travellers to drink and forget, shifting from memory to mercy. Stirling has always changed the shape of its useful buildings, and this address is no exception. The wynd itself remembers both uses, even when the rooms no longer do.
