What is recorded here
Haggs Castle Golf Course, Pollok Park is a castle, fort or tower in Glasgow City, Scotland. Perhaps the golf course is the visible remainder of a lost fortress, its walls buried under grass and memory. Maybe the castle stood here long before the first tee was cut, and the course is the shape of what the earth forgot. Imagine a tower rising through the fairway at dusk, its shadow falling across the green like a hand reaching for the sky.
