What is recorded here

Defensive ditch, from top of Crookston Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Glasgow City, Scotland. Perhaps the ditch cut through living soil rather than dead rock, forcing invaders to wade mud while defenders watched from above. Maybe the castle top still holds the shape of hands that climbed it during rain. Imagine the ditch reflecting sky instead of water, doubling the world above the place where people learned fear and wonder at once.
