Castlemilk House

Castlemilk House was a grand mansion incorporating architectural elements from the 18th and 19th centuries, built around a 15th-century medieval tower at its core. The estate included substantial outbuildings and stables that demonstrated its scale as a major residential property.

The Stuart family acquired these lands in the 13th century and renamed the estate Castlemilk in the 16th century. The structure expanded over time until Glasgow purchased the property in the 1930s, and it was demolished in 1972.

The house served as a private family residence for generations before becoming a children's home that shaped the local community. The estate held cultural importance as a gathering place that reflected the social changes of Glasgow over centuries.

The original mansion no longer stands, but the adjacent stables remain accessible to visitors and offer insight into the former estate. The site is located in the Castlemilk neighborhood and is easily reached by public transport.

The stables were designed by renowned architect David Hamilton in 1794 and remain the only surviving structure from the original estate. These buildings have been carefully restored and now serve as a community center for the neighborhood.
