Old dockside tower is a castle, fort or tower in Glasgow City, Scotland. Perhaps it watched barges arrive or kept pirates away. Maybe it stood before the docks were built. Imagine ropes pulling at its base while men argued about tide times.

Old dockside tower was likely constructed in the 19th century during Glasgow's industrial expansion, possibly by private enterprise or the city corporation to support river defense or trade. It is remembered as a relic of Glasgow's maritime and industrial heritage along the Clyde.
