What is recorded here
The Castle Esplanade is a castle, fort or tower in City of Edinburgh, Scotland. Perhaps it stood as a warning to approaching ships, its stones catching moonlight while sailors prayed for calm seas. Maybe it guarded a narrow strait where trade winds shifted without mercy. Imagine it still watching the water, patient and unchanged.
