What is recorded here
The Jubilee Tower with its clock, at South Queensferry is a castle, fort or tower in City of Edinburgh, Scotland. Perhaps the clock marked not hours but the patience of people who waited for news, tide or return. Maybe its angle caught light at the exact moment certainty disappeared. Imagine a tower built to watch the boundary between land and water, where certainty becomes porous.
