1901 Milheugh House, Blantyre
A rather rare photo of Milheugh House, photographed from a more uncommon angle, from across the river Calder. This was taken in 1901 when the much respected Bannatyne family owned the property. The house was proposed to be sold to the County Council in 1957, but through re-negotiations wasn’t sold until 2nd May 1958 for the sum of £2,100. This wasn’t the end of Milheugh Estate though, as further portions of land continued to be sold off to private owners throughout the 1960s.
Thanks to the rather excellent Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/1475717922681828/ The Lost Houses of Clyde Valley for uncovering this now demolished, gem and permitting it to be shared here.
