Newark Castle
Newark Castle is a late medieval tower house expanded in the late 16th century into a three‑storey Renaissance mansion, sited on the south shore of the River Clyde at Port Glasgow. The complex combines an original tower house linked by short wings to a north range with crow‑stepped gables; the site is now in state care and open to visitors.

As it stood in 1597
The shape it held in its prime.
A long, rectangular sandstone castle set beside the River Clyde estuary, dominated by a tall, square tower with a parapet and deep corbelled course and a connected three‑storey north range with crow‑stepped gables and rows of vertically aligned windows with triangular pediments. Steep slate roofs cap the mansion range; a short west wing links the main block to an entrance/gatehouse. The castle stands behind an iron railing with the river visible immediately beyond.
