Craigmillar Castle
20th July 2017
The first time I went up the winding path from the hospital, it was snowing. There was the castle looking pink and grey and the black bones of the trees through the white snow-mist. But there were dogs, crows, robins and people braving the weather under the shelter of the castle.
The castle is like the hospital near it: a place of refuge in bad times and where people hope to regain mental hope and bodily balance. I went up there, looking for a place to make my imagination run. We all need a view or a window or picture to let our imagination out.
