Old Photographs Cathcart Castle Scotland

Old photograph of Cathcart Castle, Glasgow, Scotland. Cathcart Castle was a 15th century castle, located in what is now Linn Park in the Cathcart area of southern Glasgow, Scotland. The castle was abandoned in the 18th century, and the remaining ruins were pulled down in 1980, leaving only foundations visible. The lands of Cathcart were held by the family of that name from the 12th century. In the mid 15th century the head of the family was raised to the peerage as Lord Cathcart, and it is believed that the castle was built at around this time.
