What is recorded here
Tower in Ratho Quarry is a castle, fort or tower in City of Edinburgh, Scotland. Perhaps it guarded the quarry mouth or watched carts leave with stone. Maybe its rooms held men who measured depth, weight and distance before they measured love. Imagine a ladder rope creaking in wind, a chamber pot emptied at dawn, and a man standing barefoot on cold rock while the city slept.
