What is recorded here

Waygateshaw is a medieval tower house in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, with an 18th century sundial and a country house of unknown period. The tower is old enough to have watched fields change hands and skies change colour, while the sundial marked time for whoever lived there after the medieval dark. The house may have been busy, crowded and loud, or it may have stood empty for decades before someone remembered it.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Waygateshaw as Country House (period Unassigned), Sundial (18th Century), Tower House (medieval).
