St Mary's Aisle and Somerville Mausoleum, Carnwath

In 1424 Lord Somerville established a collegiate church at Carnwath that was demolished in 1799 apart from the north transept that became the mausoleum of the Somervilles, Lockharts, etc. It is still privately owned and has had a belfry and cross added in 1799 with buttresses added in the 19th century. It has a large tracery window at the northern end, built in English style and later a doorway was built that unusually protrudes into the window.

Interesting window stylings 🤔

They are certainly unusual. They don't fit with his usual style to my knowledge.

Hi, I saw some of your previous videos (from years ago) about abandoned train stations in Glasgow. I’ve been inside the botanic gardens to kelvin bridge tunnel and the old Maryhill station underneath the Tesco, and was wondering if you knew other ways into any other tunnels? The Possil - Maryhill tunnel was filled with rubble from the Maryhill side, but if you’re able to get into the other side? Thanks

Hello, I have noted that officialdom has sealed up entrances and re-openings have also happened! The Clyde pedestrian tunnel I think opens occasionally. Sorry.

Extant pre reformation churches are so rare in Scotland - this is very extravagant architecture. Fyi The Carmichaels are still around and Carnwrath was last in the news whilst being hassled by uninspiring morons in Lanarkshire council for producing Blue Cheese….

[@rogergriffith286]

Much of it added later. Blue Cheese - seems to worry councils unduly :-)
