What is recorded here
Parkglen Wood hides a possible medieval tower house in Renfrewshire, though no exact date or owner is certain. The wood may still hold broken stone, forgotten stairs or a room built to watch a valley. People can wonder what the tower saw, whether it guarded a family, a road or a boundary. The uncertainty does not weaken the place; it invites a person to imagine the hands that built it and the lives that disappeared into the trees.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Parkglen Wood as Structure(s) (period Unassigned), Tower House (medieval)(possible). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
