What is recorded here

Bishop's Loch in Glasgow City was a medieval bishops palace, though the water and land have since shifted around that old claim. The loch may have swallowed the building or the building may have shaped the loch, but neither remains visible for easy judgement. What is left is a boundary between religious authority and ordinary city life, marked only by name and memory.
