What is recorded here
Castle Street in Glasgow still holds the Barony Parish Church, a nineteenth-century stone box where ordinary people brought extraordinary life. The gate pier stands beside it like a sentinel, marking the boundary between the busy street and the quiet place inside. Together they suggest a city that never stopped building rooms large enough for its own noise, grief, joy and argument.
