Newark Castle, Medieval castle ruins in St Monans, Scotland.
Newark Castle features remaining vaulted cellars and stands on the east coast of Fife, directly facing the North Sea waters below.
The Kinloch family initiated the construction of Newark Castle in the 15th century before it passed to the Sandilands of Cruivie through marriage.
Newark Castle represents the architectural evolution of Scottish defensive structures, combining residential comfort with military fortification requirements of medieval times.
The castle ruins form part of the Fife Coastal Path, providing access points from both St Monans village and the surrounding walking trails.
The castle received attention from shipping magnate Sir William Burrell, who commissioned restoration plans that never materialized due to the owner's refusal to sell.
