Correction your entry for the Rotten Calder is incorrect in that what you title as Calderglen Castle is in fact Calderwood Castle which no longer exists?
You are totally correct, the castle in question wasCalderwood Castle, of which nothing but the founds of some outbuildings and the remains of pathway walls now remain. To correct another couple of points, the East Kilbride Angling Club does have the fishing rights on the river, and does stock with Brown trout, but NOT with "puddocks", as these are frogs in auld Scots! Permits for the river are indeed available from Alex or Michael Lightbody, twin brothers who run Lightbody Butchers located in the Murray Square, but also from the Calderglen Country Park shop, and the Anglers Emporium in Cadzow Street, Hamilton.
What else can I help you with?

What is Calderwood Castle?
Hi I am a local historian for the Calderwood precinct of East Kilbride. East Kilbride is a 'new town in South Lanarkshire, Scotland. Calderwood Castle was originally a fortified keep otherwise known as a Scottish Peel Tower. It was built on the western banks of the Rotten Calder Water between the 13-14th centuries. However it is almost certain that an early building stood on the site some time prior to 1246. The original castle building was composed of two towers built perhaps 100 years apart, one abutting against the other giving the middle wall an extreme thickness. It stood almost 90 feet tall and most walls were about 7 feet thick. There was a wheel stair which led from the Bell House and Parapet walk at the top of the tower, straight down to the water, possibly indicating a secret passage. This building was added to in the mid 18th century with two large mansion house wings. In 1773 days of heavy gales and rain caused the original towers to collapse into the roaring torrent, and the stables which lay beneath the castle were buried by rubble, but survived due to their strong arched roof. No possession or soul was lost apart from one of the hunting dogs, because the event was forseen by a local clergyman who was tutor to the castles children. They moved into the extension and rebuilt the ruins into another modern mansion. a century later in 1845, the then owner who was highly artistic and romantic decided to add a grand gothick extension to the existing buildings at a cost of £50,000. The centre piece was an octagonal tower. The family who lived in the castle were the Maxwells of Calderwood who obtained it through marriage in 1246. The original owners were known to have went by the surname of Calderwood. It is almost certain that anyone bearing the name Calderwood originally descended from the owners of this castle as the name was derived from literally 'woods beside the Calder'. The Rotten Calder meanders through a unique deep wooded ravine with precipitous ivy-clad cliffs and crags. The valley is known as Calderglen and in the past Calderwood Glen. It would be impossible here to do justice in words, the incredible romantic secluded beauty of Calderglen, and it most certainly deserves a visit. However do not visit the main path, go off trail and explore the long-lost nooks and dells. The valley falls within the modern Calderglen Country Park based at Torrance House. Their are over 10 miles of nature trails and countless beauty spots and magnificent waterfalls. The castle was bought by the S.C.W.S in 1904 and by 1947 it was starting to be demolished due to disrepair and the cost of upkeep, their was also a severe fire at one point. By 1951 all that was left was the octagonal tower, which was blown up that year by the army as partof an excercise so that the council could get around the costs. All that remains now are the former border and retaining walls and terraces, a ruined crypt and a folly Castle named 'Craigneith Castle, the foundations of the Stables, a ruined Well and traces of the formal gardens and an artificial pond and fountain. Old OS maps from the 1800's are available at East Kilbride library, and they are most useful. I hope this answers your question :-)
