What is recorded here
Crookston Castle from the east is a castle, fort or tower in Glasgow City, Scotland. Perhaps its stones still hold the shape of hands that built them. Maybe the east wind carries voices from rooms no longer standing. Imagine a person standing at that point, watching shadow move across old stone.
