Calderwood Castle, Archaeological castle ruins in South Lanarkshire, Scotland.
The castle stood along the Rotten Calder Water, with its rectangular tower house displaying medieval architecture from the fifteenth century.
The original Maxwell family fortress collapsed in 1773, leading to construction of an eighteenth-century country house with Gothic Revival additions.
The castle provided shelter to 200 Belgian refugees during World War I and later served as a quarters for troops in World War II.
The site contains half-buried ruins, rubble, and an intact walled driveway terrace, marking the location of the former structure.
A dedicated railway platform, Calderwood Glen, operated from 1907 to 1939 to transport visitors to the estate grounds.
