What is recorded here
Westercommon Tower Blocks is a castle, fort or tower in Glasgow City, Scotland. Perhaps its stones stood guard over a common field where neighbours argued, traded or hid during storms. Maybe the blocks marked a boundary people still recognise in the shape of the land. Imagine a keeper climbing the tower at dawn, reading the weather in the colour of the sky.
