Partick Castle continued in use into the eighteenth century, being described c 1710 as ‘a well built and convenient house, well planted with barren timber, large gardens, inclosed with stone walls’ (quoted in Leishman 1845, 692). The tower was unroofed and ruinous by the 1780s, when it was quarried for the building of an adjacent farmhouse (fig 3.20; Napier 1873, 22, 33–4). For some years it had been let to tenants, the last of these leaving around 1770, and it was finally demolished in the 1830s.
