    GENERAL HISTORY SOCIAL HISTORY FAMILY HISTORY OCCUPATIONS ENVIRONMENT RELIGION MISCELLANEOUS Welcome to the INTERACTIVE heritage guide to Stonehouse. This guide has been written and designed for you to investigate and learn of Stonehouses’ rich and eventful history. We hope this guide will be a useful research tool, as well as encouraging educational awareness and enjoyment of Stonehouses’ development from its origins, through the Industrial Revolution, to its present day status set in rural Lanarkshire.

GENERAL HISTORY SOCIAL HISTORY FAMILY HISTORY OCCUPATIONS ENVIRONMENT RELIGION MISCELLANEOUS Origins ORIGINS In prehistoric times, the natural place to settle would have been by the river Avon with its fertile holms and abundance of natural PRE-HISTORY resources. Evidence of early man can be found throughout the parish, enabling us to build a picture of how the community of Stonehouse developed over the centuries. The fact that a stone cist was found in the old kirk cemetery in 1937, confirms this site as a CASTLES place of pagan burial.

    Proc Soc Antiq Scot, 128 (1998), 923-936 Excavations at Craignethan Castle, 1984 and 1995 John Lewis*, Eoin McB Cox| & Helen Smith} ABSTRACT This report describes excavations carried out within the basement of the ruined north-east tower courtyard(1984)at and immediate levelthe to tower the east of house (1995) Craignethanat Castle. The former was originally a kitchen but was remodelled at some stage, perhaps to a brewhouse.

Nevertheless, briea f summar histors it architecturf d yo yan presenteds i e thin i s scenpapee th t ordeen ri se o rt for the excavations described within. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Craignethan Castle dates from around 1530 and was the brainchild of Sir James Hamilton of Finnart, the illegitimate son of James, first Earl of Arran and great-grandson of King James II. Finnart not only commissioned the building of the castle but, as one who was passionately interested in architecture (and indeed the future Master of the King's Works), took a very active interest in its construction. Finnart was executed for treason in 1540 and the castle eventually fell into the hands of his half-brother (also James), who was to become the second Earl of Arran and Regent of Scotland during the minority of Mary, Queen of Scots.

    Day Trip to Carstairs Kames. Saturday 6Th July 2013

    Day trip to Carstairs Kames. Saturday 6th July 2013. Leader John Gordon Participants 25 Reporter: Margaret Greene Carstairs Kames – one of the most famous landforms in Scotland The following is from the SNH citation of the site “ Carstairs Kames Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) lies less than 0.5km north of Carstairs and illustrates one of the most striking and important groups of glacial landforms in Britain. Extending over a distance of 7km, the site comprises a series of braided sand and gravel ridges (eskers) and mounds (kames) with intervening peat-filled hollows (kettle holes). These features, which reach an exceptional height of 25 metres above the surrounding topography, are the product of glacial meltwater charged with sediment draining out from the front of the last ice sheet as it retreated approximately 15,000 years ago. Carstairs Kames is a historically important site that has been a focus of scientific study for over 160 years, and it remains a key locality today for interpreting the processes and patterns of landscape development associated with ice sheet melting “. On a warm and sunny morning we set off from the Gregory building, and met up with three others at the Ryeflat Peat Extraction site near Carstairs. From there we travelled a short distance to the south-eastern end of the ridge. Scotland experienced multiple episodes of glaciation especially in the past 1.7 million years – the landforms at Carstairs Kames relate to the last major ice sheet. The main phase of ice initially came from the north pushing south and eastward but following this the ice sheet came from the Southern Uplands pushing northwards – therefore the latest ice to arrive in the area was from the south.
