MenuPort Glasgow, Renfrewshire
Port Glasgow is a large industrial, port town in Renfrewshire. Originally a fishing hamlet named Newark, Port Glasgow came about as a result of large ships being unable to navigate the River Clyde to the centre of Glasgow. As a result, it has formed as a remote port for Glasgow in 1668. The town grew from the central area of the present town and thus many of the town's historic buildings are found here. Newark Castle stands very close to the shore of the Clyde, and dates to around 1484. The town is within the council area of Inverclyde.
