East End house

Situated in the Carmichael estate, Lanark, the Carmichael family have been in existence since the 1300AD but this house was built in the 16th century after the two parts of the Carmichael family split around 1500AD. The first reference to the house was on the ordnance maps dated 1654AD, The house went through some structural changes up until 1789AD. During the war in 1940 it housed the Polish army stationed in the area.The last member of the family Richard Carmichael inherited the house in 1980 but due to extensive dry rot all efforts to save this house failed & it fell into dereliction from that moment on.
