Castlemilk House, Ancestral country house in Castlemilk district, Scotland.
The grand mansion featured extensive architectural elements from both the 18th and 19th centuries, built around the 15th-century Cassiltoun Tower.
The Stuart family acquired the Cassiltoun of Carmunnock lands in the 13th century and renamed the estate to Castlemilk in the 16th century.
Glasgow Corporation purchased the 445-hectare estate in 1938, transforming the mansion into a children's home that operated until January 1969.
The building served as accommodation for evacuees during World War II before its demolition in 1972, with a children's play area now occupying the site.
The accompanying stables block, designed by David Hamilton in 1794, remains as the main surviving structure and houses community facilities after restoration.
