What is recorded here

Eastend House stands in South Lanarkshire as a layered survivor, wearing an 18th-century country house body over a 16th-century tower house heart. That much is clear. The rest belongs to imagination: perhaps the tower resisted every fashion that came and went, forcing each new owner to build around its stubbornness rather than erase it. A house that refuses to be young is harder to forget.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Eastend House as Country House (18th Century), Tower House (16th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Eastend House was originally a 16th-century tower house, later expanded into a country house in the 18th century, reflecting the evolution of Scottish domestic architecture. Its significance lies in its historical continuity and its inclusion in Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment.
