What is recorded here

Murdostoun Castle is a 15th-century tower in North Lanarkshire, Scotland, built by the Scott family as a defensive keep above the South Calder Water. Its thick walls, stone roof and hidden stairs show how it resisted attack, while the later Inglis family lived there for three hundred years. The estate stretched across farms and barony lands, and the 1817 bridge still spans the river that divided Murdostoun from Allanton.
