Old Photographs Newark Castle Fife Scotland

Old photograph of Newark Castle by St Monans in the East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. This Scottish castle dates back to the 13th century at which time King Alexander III, born 1241, died 1286, spent some of his childhood here. The ruins currently visible are the remains of buildings constructed under the ownership of David Leslie in the 17th century and the Sandilands family who owned the castle since the 15th century when they gained the estate through marriage. Leslie was a prominent figure in the English and Scottish Civil Wars, becoming Lord Newark after the wars.
