What is recorded here
The Martello Tower in Wasteland is a castle, fort or tower in City of Edinburgh, Scotland. Perhaps soldiers stood watch beside the tower while ordinary life continued around them. Maybe the tower still holds the shape of that duty. Imagine a person walking past it today, unaware that the stone has already survived every storm that could have erased it.
