What is recorded here

Farme Castle stands as a medieval tower house on Baronald Street in Dalmarnock, Glasgow. Its stones have watched the river and fields for centuries, perhaps hiding rooms where families argued, loved or starved. The exact boundary between fact and fantasy blunts when a building stops speaking its own name. What remains is a vertical shadow in South Lanarkshire, waiting for someone to remember why it was built.
