What is recorded here
Bridges and tower is a castle, fort or tower in Glasgow City, Scotland. Perhaps stone walls stood where grass grows now, watching carts and people pass below. Maybe a keeper lived inside, pulling a bridge across at dusk and listening for danger in the dark. Imagine the tower rising above ordinary rooftops, not for show but for notice, with a room small enough to hold one lamp and one frightened person.
