But it is not only pipers who have vanished, many a solid bulk of masonry has been likewise spirited into the air. Here, for example, is the shape of a heart let into the causeway. This was the site of the Tolbooth, the heart of Midlothian, a place old in story and namefather to a noble book.
– Stevenson (1878)
