What is recorded here
Bedlay Castle is a privately occupied house in North Lanarkshire that began as a defensive tower built after 1580 for Robert Boyd, 4th Lord Boyd of Kilmarnock. The Robertons later extended it, and the Campbells of Petershill added a mausoleum and decorative stonework before ownership changed again. It stands on a crag beside watercourses, with a hidden room, old stair towers and ghost stories about a horse and carriage in the lane beside the house.
