Old Photographs Colzium House Scotland
Old photograph of Colzium House near Kilsyth, North Lanarkshire, Scotland. The present house dates from 1783 and was extended and modernised in 1861. The first building here was a large L plan tower house built by the Livingstons of Callendar in the mid 15th century to replace the ancient motte. The Civil War Battle of Kilsyth was fought just a mile to the east. A substantial hall house was added in 1575. The nearby castle was demolished by the third Viscount of Kilsyth in 1703, immediately prior to his accession to the title. The family lost the estate due to their Jacobite sympathies, and it then became the property of the Edmonstone family.
