Carstairs House, also known as Monteith House, is a country house Шаблон:Convert south-west of Carstairs South Lanarkshire, Scotland. The house is protected as a category A listed building.[1]

History

Carstairs House was designed by the Edinburgh architect William Burn and built for Henry Monteith MP between 1821 and 1823.[1][2] It then passed to his son Robert Monteith, and on his death to Joseph Monteith, who built a hydroelectric plant at nearby Jarviswood, and the Carstairs House Tramway to transport guests and family to and from Carstairs railway station.[3] It was purchased by Sir James King, the former Lord Provost of Glasgow in 1899.[4]

In 1924 Carstairs House was acquired the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Glasgow who had selected it as base for the St Charles' Certified Institution for "mentally defective Catholic children".[5] The children arrived there in 1925.[6] The institution, which was staffed by Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul,[7] closed in 1983.[7]

The house re-opened as a nursing home known as Monteith House (named after its original owner) in 1986 and, after a temporary closure between 2009 and 2011, re-opened again.[8]
