Glasgow, Castlemilk may hide a medieval motte beneath modern feet, though no tower or ditch remains visible. The earth itself remembers the shape of power, pressing upward through grass and pavement like a forgotten muscle. People walk past without knowing they step across an old wound in the land, where someone once climbed above the mist to watch the valley breathe.
