This site is for people to share their photos, stories and memories of Cambusnethan Priory, before it is lost forever.
The Priory, as it is known locally, was designed by James Gillespie Graham and completed in 1820. looked on as being one of Grahams best country houses, it was built in the style of the Gothic revival.
Sadly it was gutted by fire in the 1980s and now only the golden sandstone shell remains, although the stunning gothic carvings remain visible. From across the valley it is not even obvious that it is now a ruin but ultimately every year brings further decline in its state.
Our Facebook page has proved that a lot of people care about the state of this once beautiful house, so it was decided to set-up this web site, to encourage people to explore and help us as we try to preserve this beautiful house.
We have lost so much of our heritage - Hamilton Palace, Mauldslie Castle, Stonebyres house to name but a few. Let's preserve as much as we can about Cambusnethan Priory before it too is lost.
