What is recorded here
Ferguslie Castle stands in Paisley, Renfrewshire, a medieval structure reduced to memory rather than marble. The name suggests a liege or a forgotten family, yet no tower remains to prove it. What is left is a point on the earth where power once concentrated, now distributed into grass and rain.
