History from 'Scotland's Endangered Houses':
Carwood was built in 1832 and underwent alterations in 1845 and 1859. The lands of Carwood were originally part of the Biggar estates but were sold in 1830 by the Flemmings to Robert Gray when Carwood became a separate estate. Gray built the house which was abandoned in the 1950s. Consent for demolition was denied in the mid 1970s when the contents of the house were sold.
Quite an interesting find, Carwood is now surrounded by a working farm. Its quite a plain building as you can see, almost institutional, but classic. The roof has now collapsed taking much of the interior with it but the later wing to the right is still in tact. Worth a look if you're in the area for sure.
