Birkwood Castle
South Lanarkshire, United Kingdom
Birkwood Castle, also known as Birkwood House, is a castellated Gothic Revival country house situated in the Greenholm village area of Lesmahagow, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. Built originally as a small Georgian manor, it was greatly expanded by the McKirdy family in the mid-1800s and later 1800s to create the better known 'Birkwood Castle'. In 1923 the building and its policy grounds were purchased by a department of the local authority for use as a hospital. Following closure of the institution, attempts have been made to redevelop the building. The house, now in ruin, is on the Buildings at Risk Register, and is the subject of numerous, recent ghostlore associations.
