What is recorded here
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Lanark, Castlebank as Country House (19th 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.
Lanark Castle, located on Castlebank, was originally built by the de Balliol family in the 13th century and later held by the Douglas family, becoming a significant stronghold in the Wars of Scottish Independence. Though the 19th-century structure recorded as a country house is now of more recent origin, the site remains historically important due to its medieval heritage and strategic role in Scottish history.
