Dalzell House in Motherwell. Just a quick video
The 15th- or early 16th-century tower house was built by the Dalzell family, who acquired these lands in the 13th century. Thomas de Dalzell fought at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. Sir Robert Dalzell forfeited the lands in around 1342, for residing in England without the King's consent,[3] but they were restored through marriage in the 15th century. Another Sir Robert Dalzell was created Lord Dalzell in 1628, and his son was further elevated as Earl of Carnwath in 1639.
In 1645 the Earl of Carnwath granted the Dalzell estate to his nephew James Hamilton of Boggs, who built the first major extensions to the tower house, adding the south wing around 1649.[1] By 1750, avenues of trees had been laid out in the grounds, probably the work of Archibald Hamilton, 4th of Dalzell.[3] The 7th Hamilton laird, another Archibald Hamilton, entered into a venture with the reformer Robert Owen. An attempt was made to build a model settlement at the Hamiltons' nearby property of Orbiston, but this proved an expensive failure.[3]
In the 19th century the family's fortunes were enhanced by the Lanarkshire coal mining boom, and in the 1850s John Hamilton (1829–1900), a Liberal politician later ennobled as Baron Hamilton of Dalzell, commissioned a major remodelling of the house. Architect Robert William Billings carried out extensive restorations to the earlier buildings, and added a new north wing. Billings had recently published The Baronial and Ecclesiastical Antiquities of Scotland (1852), four volumes of engravings of Scottish architecture, and he drew heavily on this source material in his work at Dalzell. He lived at Dalzell for three years while overseeing the works.[1] Andrew Cassels, a local man, undertook work on the gardens and grounds, possibly supervised by Billings.[1] The south wing was also restored in 1869, following a fire.[4] Lord Hamilton served in the government of William Gladstone, who visited Dalzell on several occasions, and the Prince and Princess of Wales visited in 1888.[3]
On the death of the 2nd Baron in 1952, the property was sold out of the Hamilton family. Part of it was used as a boys' school until 1967, when it was purchased by Motherwell and Wishaw Town Council.[3] The house then stood empty until the 1980s when developer Classical House renovated the property as a series of 18 private apartments. The interiors retain Billings' Jacobean detailing

Down the mine at Summerlee Heritage Centre
The Phantom Travelers went for an adventure down an old coal mine at Summerlee Heritage Centre in Coatbridge, Scotland.
We had a look at the past in the museum, then the old houses and the mine tour.
There's also a little bit of train spotting with some vintage trains.
Old Photographs Kirkintilloch Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Kirkintilloch, a town and former royal burgh in East Dunbartonshire. It is located on the Forth and Clyde Canal, about 8 miles north east of central Glasgow. Following the Scottish victory in the wars of independence and the subsequent decline of Clan Cumming, the baronies of Kirkintilloch, Lenzie, and Cumbernauld were granted by Robert The Bruce to Sir Malcolm Fleming, Sheriff of Dumbarton and a supporter of the Bruce faction in the war. Hitherto part of Stirlingshire, the area subsequently became a detached part of the county of Dumbarton, in which it remains today. On 3 January 1746, the retreating Jacobite army of Bonnie Prince Charlie made its way through Kirkintilloch, on its way back from Derby, England, and on the march to Falkirk and ultimately Culloden. The town was one of the hotbeds of the Industrial Revolution in Scotland, beginning with the emergence of a booming textile industry in the area. There were 185 weavers in Kirkintilloch by 1790, and in 1867 James Slimon's cotton mill at Kelvinside employed 200 women. With the construction of the Forth and Clyde Canal through the town in 1773, and the establishment of the Monkland and Kirkintilloch Railway in 1826, Kirkintilloch developed further as an important transportation hub, inland port and production centre for iron, coal, nickel and even small ships. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.

Lanarkshire Business Show - Interview with Chris Wond of North Lanarkshire Council
The Lanarkshire Business Show returns to the fabulous Ravenscraig venue for a fantastic morning of Business Opportunities, Speed Networking, Seminars and Business Exhibition. The Business Services teams from both North and South Lanarkshire Councils were there to help businesses in Lanarkshire. The event is part of Lanarkshire Business Week.
Why Lanarkshire?
Situated in the heart of Scotland, Lanarkshire has plenty to offer as a region to live and raise a family, enjoy recreational activities and as a place for business. From the commercial and industrial areas of the north to the fertile, agricultural landscape in the south, Lanarkshire is a land of opportunity for a diverse and exciting range of Scotland’s growth business sectors.
Connectivity
Businesses in Lanarkshire cite the excellent connectivity to the rest of Scotland, UK and the world. Three of Scotland’s international airports are located less than an hour away and there are direct links to the UK’s main rail lines.
Lanarkshire also lies at the heart of Scotland’s motorway network, with the M80 northbound, the M74 southbound and the M8 connecting the east and west of the country all running through the region.
The M74, beginning in Glasgow and running south towards England, is the main route into significant markets to trade goods and services and with it running through the centre of Lanarkshire, the region couldn’t be better placed to take advantage of new market opportunities
Cultural Lanarkshire
Cultural opportunities also abound in Lanarkshire with a number of registered museums and entertainment venues such as Motherwell Concert Hall and Theatre, East Kilbride Arts Centre, Rutherglen Town Hall & Lanark Memorial Hall to name a few. Lanarkshire also hosts events such as the Strathaven Balloon Festival and Beer Festival in the summer. The central location also provides easy access for major music concerts in Glasgow and the world famous Edinburgh International Festival.
Education
Lifelong learning and education is valued in Lanarkshire and the region is proud to have award winning colleges and its very own university campus; New College Lanarkshire, which was recently awarded as ‘Best in the UK’ at WorldskillsUK and the University of the West of Scotland provide vocational courses and a wide range of degree level qualifications respectively, supporting almost 40,000 students every year. South Lanarkshire College remains one of the country’s top performing colleges according to the Scottish Funding Council’s national performance indicators.
With awards for innovation, workforce development, working with businesses and marketing, Lanarkshire’s education institutions are a major attraction for new businesses, each producing high quality and motivated graduates and PhD students every year.
Entrepreneurial Heritage
Historically, Lanarkshire was the most populous region in Scotland and from the mid 18th century to the 20th century, Lanarkshire profited from its rich seams of coal and then steel and heavy engineering. And as the global and UK economies have changed over the years, Lanarkshire has reinvented itself to meet the challenges of the future.
The entrepreneurial spirit is strong in Lanarkshire and over the last ten years, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have led the growth in the region. Recent statistics have indicated that over 14,000 SMEs are located in Lanarkshire, accounting for 48% of the total jobs generated in the area.
Location
The location of Lanarkshire makes it the number one choice for businesses. Situated in the heart of Scotland’s central belt, Lanarkshire has a unique position to do business in a number of different markets. Lanarkshire’s central location, between Scotland’s largest two cities, Glasgow and Edinburgh, is a major asset for businesses, visitors and residents.
People
Lanarkshire has the second largest populated region in Scotland with a working age population of 425,000 (and total population of 652,300). It is also home to many of the nation’s most notable talents, including Scottish poet Allan Ramsey, 19th century missionary and explorer David Livingstone, engineering pioneer Sir Robert McAlpine, and more recently, Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games gold medalist, Charlie Flynn.

Old Photographs Bellshill North Lanarkshire Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Bellshill a town in North Lanarkshire, located 10 miles south east of Glasgow city centre and 37 miles West of Edinburgh. In the late 1700s the parish of Bothwell, which encompasses modern Bellshill, was a centre of hand loom weaving with 113 weavers recorded. Demand for coal to feed British industry meant that by the 1870s 20 deep pits coal mines were in operation in the area. Hughie Gallacher was born in 1903 in Bellshill in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. He was a Scottish football player in the 1920s and 1930s. In 624 senior games, Gallacher scored 463 times. He is one of the Scotland national football team's most prolific goalscorers with 23 goals from his 20 internationals, a remarkable strike rate of more than a goal a game. Gallacher was one of the Wembley Wizards who beat England 5–1 at Wembley Stadium in 1928. Alex James was born in Mossend in 1901 and brought up in Bellshill in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. Alexander Wilson James was a Scottish footballer who is most noted for his success with Arsenal in London, England. James played as an inside forward, as a supporting player for the main strikers. He was famed for the excellent quality of his passing and supreme ball control.
