Recordist's notes

Recorded from the side of a footpath set just behind and below the Scott Monument. You can hear trains leaving Edinburgh Waverly Station, people having a conversation on another bench nearby, and the wind in the trees overhead. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qCAiqFVNskYrl5a4vmNInwtm2Lvw0sr-/view?usp=sharing
