Answer 2

I have lived in Scotland for three years - Lanarkshire, Carluke. Our house was called: Waygateshaw, near the river Clyde. It was an old castle from the 16th century. Lot's of important clans have resided in that house and we were the lucky ones to take part in that. Scotland is magnificent as a country, a mystical dream and not comparable with any other country.

More details about the house:
We lived there from 1979 till 1982, by the way

WAYGATESHAW HOUSE(***)
South Lanarkshire
Private, OS72 NS825484
4.5 miles north west of Lanark, and 2 miles west of Carluke, on minor
roads north of B7056 and west of A73, on east bank of River Clyde, at
Waygateshaw.
Waygateshaw house is a 16th century courtyard castle, consisting of
a 16th century tower house with 17th century wing. It has a modern block and
a 12ft wall which encloses the fourth side of a small courtyard. The
entrance to the yard is through a moulded arched gateway which is guarded by
gunloops. This was decorated above by a pair of carved animals, not unlike
large dogs.
The tower house is rectangular, of three storeys and with a small
stair wing. There was probably a parapet above with garret, though these
have gone. It now has a modern roof. The walls have gunloops, one guarding
the entrance to the yard, another in the northern wall, and another guarding
the entrance in the re-entrant. There are a few small windows. The basement
is vaulted and consists of two chambers. In the wing a particularly steep
turnpike stair reaches all floors. The hall is vaulted, and as usual is on
the first floor. Above this the room has been rebuilt to form a garret,
lower than the original, though the original fireplace has been remodelled
to form a window.
The extension of the 17th century is of three storeys and a garret.
There is no vaulting in this building, and an original fireplace survives on
the second floor.
This was a property of the Murrays of Touchadam, though passed to
the Lockharts in 1539. Stephen Lockhart was indicted in the murder of Henry
Lord Darnley in 1572. The family were forfeited for taking part in the
Pentland rising of 1666, but later regained the estate. It was sold to the
Weirs in 1720, and then passed to the Steel family. It has been restored and
is occupied.
