(Name NS 88514549) Jerviswood (NAT)
OS 6" map (1941)
Jerviswood is a good specimen of a plain Scottish house of the seventeenth century.
Adjoining the present house, there are the ruins of a more ancient castle. It has evidently been a quadrilateral tower, and the round arched doorway with water-table and drip-stone carved with a head, is indicative of considerable antiquity.
D MacGibbon and T Ross 1887
Jerviswood, a late 16th or early 17th century laird's house, is structurally sound but now uninhabited. Part of an earlier tower (probably 15-16th century) was demolished about 1950 (R Baillie, Jerviswood, Lanark) when bathrooms were added to the south gable of the 17th century house: the only part of the N wall containing the door doorway shown by MacGibbon and Ross and the SW corner remain.
