The wood is recorded as a source of timber for shipbuilding and other purposes in the late C15th and early-to-mid C16th. Camnethan is noted as name only by Pont c.1595, and on Blaeu 1654, based on Pont. Wood noted by Baillie ND c.1650. Coventry 2006 talks of a C17th house, replacing an earlier tower, burnt down in 1810. Hamilton 1710 speaks of the house being “…pleasantly sited in the midst of great gardens and woods, and in a fruitful soil”, with “…great plenty of wood”. Roy 1750 shows an extensive and well-ordered landscape with the house, mains farm, gardens, plantations, avenue and tree-lined parks. The landscape is seen as well wooded on Ross 1773 and Forrest 1816. Gothic revival house rebuilt to designs by J. Gillespie Graham c.1819. OS 1858 shows extensive orchards on each side of the core policies, and a small colliery to the north-east. Groome 1880 describes the house as being in “charming grounds, at the ravine of Hall Gill”. With ruination of the house in the late C20th, the grounds are now neglected and degraded. Noted as birthplace of Sir Walter Scott’s biographer J.G. Lockhart.

Coventry 2006 suggests that a house or castle of the Lockhart family may date back to C15th. A three storey tower house with two conical towers or turrets is depicted by Pont c.1595. House noted by Blaeu, with ‘mils’ nearby, but no planting. Wood noted by Baillie ND c.1650.

House and landscape at the confluence of the River Avon with the River Clyde. Groome notes that lands were formerly associated with Kelso Abbey. Pont c.1595 shows a small (?) two or three storey tower, with associated planting, reproduced by Blaeu 1654 as ‘Ros’. ‘Good woods and gardens’ noted by Hamilton 1710. Roy c.1750 shows house, walled garden, plantations and tree-lined enclosures, also seen on Forrest 1816. By OS 1859 the eastern part of the landscape was crossed by the Caledonian Railway on a large embankment, built c.1856. By OS 1909 the Ross Colliery has developed, alongside Ross Junction, and the Haughhead junction with Hamilton and Fernigair Branch Railway. By OS 1954 Ross colliery had closed, while Ross Junction has become a marshalling yard. Mansion house and western part of the policies survived more or less intact until the construction of the M74 Hamilton by-pass in the 1960s, which has divided the house and core policies from the south parkland.

Large C15th castle and single subsidiary building depicted by Pont c.1595 and Blaeu 1654, standing within fairly spacious wooded and enclosed park on the west ban of the River Nethan. Baillie c.1650 describes Craig Nethan one of several ‘principal houses’ in Lanarkshire. Noted by Hamilton 1710 as almost surrounded by gardens and woods, ‘a very odd seat’, there is little by way of planting or other features to be seen on Roy c.1750. Groome 1880 notes that association with Sir Walter Scott’s Tillietudlem. Ross 1773 notes the castle with surrounding woods, while Forrest records a house of Craignethan - alongside ‘castle in ruins’. OS 1858 and later maps show castle ruins, roofed buildings to the west, various enclosures and woodland.

Roy does not name the house, but depicts large tree-lined enclosures. Ross 1773 marks associated planting, while Forrest 1816, notes wooded policies with tree-lined parks and gate lodge. OS 1858 shows typical estate with mansion house, offices etc. Additions to mansion by David Bryce 1864, who may have added south and east gate-lodges seen on OS 1909. Estate sold c.1920 (?). East lodge gone by OS 1954. Mansion house demolished 1957. Name and much of the planting has disappeared from modern OS maps, though dovecot noted by WoSAS, photographed 1979.
Designations and record numbers CAVLP Significance
Estate may once have been part of neighbouring lands of Auchtygemmel. Glenane given as alternative name by Greenshields 1864. Farmstead ‘The Carse’ recorded by Roy c.1750. House appears as Kerse on Ross 1773 with small amount of associated planting. Also recorded by Forrest 1816 with more extensive landscape including walled garden and gate lodge. Much the same layout is seen on OS 1858, OS 1909 and OS 1954. OS 2006 shows extensive mixed broadleaved and coniferous planting over much of the estate, though this in not seen on recent aerial photograph which shows that mansion house, offices, core policy planting and gate lodge survive. Greenshields 1864 attributes design of present mansion house c.1857 to Glasgow architect William Spence.

House built on part of Lanark Muir for physician Dr. William Smellie, first seen on Roy c.1750 within a rectangular landscape comprising six tree-lined parks and a very small plantation. A little planting also seen on Ross 1773. Castellated front added to 1740s mansion for William Honeyman. Forrest 1816 shows a parkland landscape, with kitchen garden to the west of the house. By OS 1858 there is a loch to the east of the house, and an ice house to the north, while the Caledonian Railway Lanark Branch Line (CAVLP 045) and Douglas Branch Line (CAVLP 047) sweep round to the south. Structure planting seen on OS 1909, by which time the house is recorded as being an RC Orphanage. Situation little changed by OS 1954, by which time the house is named Smyllum Park School, with new St.Mary’s RC School to west of walled garden. After falling into decay from 1970s, the house was restored by the Burrell Company in early 2000s. Southern parkland with some mature planting appears to survive, while northern part of landscape has been built over with new housing.

Designed landscape is clearly marked on the OS 1858, with offices, dovecot, walled garden tree-clumps etc., though with a small tile works in the north eastern section of parkland. OS 1913 appears to show the tree-belts unplanted, and the earlier tile works replaced by more extensive Hallcraig Brick Works (approx.

By OS 1954 only the offices are marked, with the mansion house and brickworks gone, save for some spoil heaps. Part of the landscape is shown as golf course, reportedly with origins in 1894.

Named on Pont c.1595 and Blaeu 1654, it appears as a substantial house with associated planting on Ross 1773. Roy c.1750 also shows a house of some stature, with riverside woodland to the north and east, and hedged or tree-lined enclosures to the west. House noted by Forrest 1816. Site also noted as farmhouse on OS 1859, OS 1909 and OS 1954. However, 1959 report notes building in disrepair, with more recent maps and aerial views suggesting that only ruins remain.

Site of high stature house and designed landscape on the east bank of the River Avon, just west of Larkhall. Pont c.1595 and Blaeu 1654 show a wooded and enclosed park, the latter with three storey tower house adjacent with the name ‘Bramhil’ below, but which may represent Raploch. Baillie lists it among the ‘principal houses’ of Lanarkshire. The name does not appear on Roy c.1750, or on Ross 1773. However, Raploch is noted by Forrest 1816, and appears on OS 1859 as a farm, embracing ‘dovecot’ and ‘site of chapel’ associated with the earlier house. Both of these have now gone, and the site appears to have been built over by new housing. House site only noted, as extent of landscape unclear without further research.

The name first appears on Forrest 1816. OS 1858 shows a mansion house and offices at the southern extremity of a large and rather thinly planted park. This is seen with new gate-lodge and riverside approach from the north on OS 1909, also planting to the south and east. By OS 1954 the park is treeless, and the northern half is built over by a large structure, possibly glasshouses. More recent maps and aerial view show this structure gone, and the northern half of the park now covered with housing. The southern half of the park has now been redeveloped as Valley International Park, with play facilities and miniature railway.

Roy marks ‘Garion’, with buildings on the riverside, while Ross records ‘Garin’. Forrest 1816 is the first to show a mill, also marked on OS 1858 as a small building, ‘Garrion Mill (corn)’. Seen as somewhat bigger on OS 1909 and OS 1954, the mill was photographed in 1969, but has since been almost entirely demolished.
