What is recorded here
Tower of Glasgow University Old Building is a castle, fort or tower in Glasgow City, Scotland. Perhaps students climbed its rough stones before lectures, measuring height against rain and distance. Maybe the tower watched markets, gardens and passing carts while people forgot to look up. Imagine a hand on the railing at dusk, not proud but patient, holding the city's edge in view.
