[Quotation]

"The old ruinous mansion house of Newark is an interesting object but there is nothing peculiar in its structure. The situation is striking. Standing directly south and north its Southern gable has closely opposed to a precipitous rock which rises high above the level of the sea so that there is no passing betwixt the wall & the precipice. The northern half has a roof in tolerable repair. The ground storey is occupied by dark vaults. The middle & upper storys afford comfortable dwelling houses to the servants upon the farm of Newark. They did at least 'till of late."

Ordnance Survey - Fife and Kinross counties

Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the counties of Fife in the east of Scotland and Kinross in central Scotland. The boundaries of these counties were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
