What is recorded here

Magpie above the tower blocks is a castle, fort or tower in Glasgow City, Scotland. Perhaps the name points to a bird that still circles the roofs at dawn. Maybe the stone markers are the only proof the castle ever stood. Imagine a keeper watching the city through missing walls.
