Remains of Polnoon Castle, Eaglesham, Scotland
This evening, I am focusing on castle remains which, collectively, fall well short of the grandeur, romance and beauty of the hundreds of contemporaries dotted around Scotland. In fact, Polnoon Castle is little more than a heap of rubble in a field in Eaglesham, south of Glasgow in West Scotland. In common with many castles, abbeys and similar structures which became redundant in the 16th century and later, Polnoon Castle was usead as a local quarry with the worked stones taken away and used in the construction of other buildings in the locality. As evidence of this ‘quarrying’ there is incorporated in the facade of a building in Eaglesham an amorial stone which likely came from the castle.
