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.

Large enclosures and wood noted by Hamilton 1710. Roy c.1750 depicts a large designed landscape centred on a group of buildings, comprising walled and tree-lined enclosures, formal plantations, and natural woodland stretching down to the bank of the River Clyde, names ‘Woodhouse’ to north, ‘Woodyett’ to south. House and landscape recorded by Ross 1773 and by Forrest 1816 who marks ‘Byrewood’ and ‘Woodyate’. House extended c.1844 by architect John Baird.

Landscape reached maximum extent in mid C19th as seen on OS 1858 and OS 1909, incorporating Black Hill and Stonebyres Mains. House was remodelled again c.1910 by W. C. Watson, but sold and demolished 1934.

Landscape was subdivided to form Stonebyres Small-Holdings, seen on OS 1954, with much diminished planting on Black Hill. Some offices and walled garden survive.

‘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.

Iconic waterfall on the River Clyde, first in series of four which a jointly referred to as The Falls of Clyde, with Cora Linn (CAVLP 025) and Stonebyres Linn (CAVLP 116) . Much admired by tourists from C18th, often painted and drawn by artists interested in picturesque scenery. The flow of water over the falls was much reduced by the construction of a tilting weir above the waterfall (CAVLP 117), and the diversion of the water to Bonnington HydroElectric Power Station (CAVLP 118), on the east bank of the river below Cora Linn, in 19251927. Amenity Committee appointed at the time to minimise environmental impact on the falls.

Site description

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.

Pont 1595 and Blaeu 1654 (based on Pont) both show an enclosed and well wooded park surrounding what Pont depicts a three- or four-storey tower with cap-house. 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.

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.

This name is noted by Roy c.1750, by Ross 1773, by Forrest 1816, as well as on OS 1858, OS 1909, and OS 1954, with the present club house complex apparently incorporating the earlier house and outbuildings.

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.

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.

Iconic waterfall on the River Clyde, fourth in a series of falls jointly referred to as The Falls of Clyde. Much admired by tourists from C18th, often painted and drawn by artists interested in picturesque scenery. The flow of water over the falls was much reduced by the construction of a tilting weir above the waterfall, and the diversion of the water to Stonebyres Hydro Electric Power Station in 1925-1927. Amenity Committee appointed at the time to minimise environmental impact on the falls.

Marked as a settlement by Pont 1595 and Blaeu 1654. Roy 1750 records ‘Brownlie’, and Ross 1775 ‘Burnlee’, with associated planting. By Forrest 1816, the landscape has of the estate has taken on its present form, with house at head of a park leading down to the River Clyde, flanked by orchards, and several rectangular fields bounded by tree-belts uphill to the north-east, echoing those seen on neighbouring Mauldslie (CAVLP 010). This is the landscape seen on OS 1858 and later maps, though OS 1909 shows original house as East Brownlee, with west Brownlee to the north, and Shawfield /Brownlee Collieries (CAVLP 127) on the northern edge of the parkland. OS 1954 shows these collieries closed, leaving only spoil tips.
