Old Photographs Castlemilk House Scotland
Old photograph of Castlemilk House, South of Glasgow, Scotland. This Scottish house was built around the 15th century Castlemilk Tower, but was demolished in 1969 to make way for the Castlemilk housing estate. The lands of Cassilton of Carmunock were acquired by the Stuarts of Castlemilk in Dumfriesshire in the 13th century, and in the 16th century they renamed the estate Castlemilk. In 1937 the estate was acquired by Glasgow Corporation for housing, but the outbreak of the Second World War delayed building work. The mansion was used to accommodate evacuees from the city until the end of the war, and then as a children's home until closed in 1968.
