What is recorded here

Partick Castle stood as a medieval fortress inside Glasgow, though no intact tower or curtain wall remains visible today. The land may have swallowed stone, roadworks may have broken it, or men may have taken its materials for other builds. Whatever vanished, the name still marks a place where power once kept watch above the city.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Glasgow, Partick Castle as Castle (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Partick Castle was built in the 13th century by the de Partick family, a prominent Scottish noble family. It is remembered for its strategic position on the River Clyde and its role in the medieval defense and development of Glasgow.
