Pollock Castle
Pollock Castle was a historic tower house and later country seat on an estate west of Newton Mearns, Renfrewshire. The building was substantially rebuilt in 1686–1694 and again in 1886 in Scots Baronial style, then demolished in 1952; fragments of walls, gatehouses, stables and foundations survived and the site was later reworked.

As it stood in 1890
The shape it held in its prime.
In its prime (late 19th century after the 1886 rebuilding) Pollock Castle presented a masonry tower-house core with an attached east wing and an extended main block rebuilt in Scots Baronial fashion but incorporating earlier stonework. The house sat within an enclosing courtyard entered through an ornate gateway, with a formal walled garden laid out with corner pavilions, paired estate gatehouses marking the estate entrances, separate stone stables and a gardener's cottage. Substantial stone foundations and a surviving section of the north wall grounded the composition.
