What a great find, this is near where I come from and part of my local history.
The Castle at the top of the news article Craignethan castle is also known as Tilletudlem castle from the Sir Walter Scott novel Old Mortality. I remember visiting this castle as a child and my parents telling me about this. I have the novel among my collection of Sir Walter Scott’s books.
The Lanarkshire region is steeped in history and a must see for history lovers, you can feel the energy of the past as you explore the famous castles and battle grounds. We Scott’s are very much living history as the stories are often passed down the generations. If you love Scottish history, I highly recommend reading books by Neil Oliver, Magnus Magnusson in particular Scotland; the story of a nation, and other authors on Scottish history and castles. As a side note Sir Walter Scott was not historically accurate in his novels but they are excellent reading all the same.
