Newark Castle, Fife (6)
This shows the castle's main doorway, visible in the previous drawing, and all that remains of the late 16th century stair-tower above it. As well as upwards, the stair led down to the vaulted ground floor of the main block, which contained the kitchen. The enormous 'walk in' fireplace occupied the entire north end of the kitchen and you could actually walk through the fireplace and out through a doorway that led to the round tower! M&R describe the kitchen as "a fine vaulted apartment, lighted by windows on either side. Its large arched fireplace just referred to is similarly lighted by windows on both sides."
