Old Photograph Stanely Castle Paisley Scotland

Old photograph of Stanely Castle located in the waters of Stanely Reservoir, to the south of Paisley by Glasgow, Scotland. This Scottish castle at the foot of the Gleniffer Braes was probably built in the early 15th century, on an island within a marsh. The castle is now a ruin. Since 1837 it has been partially submerged by the reservoir. Stanely was the ancient seat of the Danzielstons. In the early 15th century the estate passed to the Maxwells of Calderwood, who sold it on in 1629 to Lady Ross of Hawhead. In the 18th century, it passed to the Boyle Earls of Glasgow.
