About Port Glasgow

Known for

The Newark Castle (a remarkably intact 16th century tower house), the shipbuilding heritage (the Port was Glasgow's original seaport), and an Inverclyde town at the heart of Scotland's shipbuilding story

A little history

Port Glasgow was established in 1668 as Glasgow's harbour — the Clyde at Glasgow was too shallow for large ships. The town grew as a shipbuilding centre. Newark Castle, the 16th century tower house on the waterfront, is remarkably well preserved. The Clyde's shipbuilding era defined Port Glasgow.

Local tip

Newark Castle (Historic Environment Scotland) is excellent — a complete 16th century tower house right on the Clyde waterfront. The Clyde views. The town's shipbuilding heritage is marked throughout.
