Craigneith Castle

Calderwood Castle was located in East Kilbride, Scotland. The historically recorded castle was situated on a precipice on the western bank of the Rotten Calder Water in Calderwood Glen, now part of Calderglen Country Park. Most likely constructed in the early to mid fifteenth century by the Maxwell family, the original peel tower collapsed in 1773 following several days of stormy weather. This building, known architecturally from a mid eighteenth century drawing, was replaced by an extension to the pre-existing late 17th-century country house called Calderwood House. These sections and later additions, including an 1840s Gothic Revival extension, were all demolished in the period circa 1943-1951.
