Patrick Castle

Partick Castle was a building located in Partick, a western suburb of Glasgow, Scotland. It was built in 1611 for George Hutcheson and situated on the west bank of the River Kelvin. It was described as a “well-built and convenient house, well planted with barren timber and large gardens.” The castle was left empty in 1770 and was in ruins by 1783. It was demolished during the 1830s. The remains of the castle are likely to lie under the south-western end of the Tesco development site in Partick. It is also believed to have been the site of a castle and country residence of the Bishops of Glasgow, which was used until the reformation in 1560. The remains of this castle may have been discovered in 2016 during work to install sewage pipes.
