Help us fill in the gaps! 🏰
We’re working to restore the Castlebank House Outbuildings—and we need your help to piece together their story.
Do you have any old photographs of the buildings? We’re especially interested in images from when they were last in use (around the early 1950s through to the 1970s).
Every photo, no matter how small, could make a big difference in helping us preserve this important part of our heritage.
📩 Have something to share?
Please send us a message or email your photos to [email protected]
Let’s work together to rediscover and celebrate Castlebank’s past 💚

New project in Lanark !! Show Langloch Farm at CCI and Clydesdale Citizens Advice Bureau your views on their plans to turn the old Lidl building into a multi use space including a performing arts centre.

**POST EDIT - THIS IS A STANDALONE PROJECT. CCI IS NOT MOVING FROM LANGLOCH FARM**

We are one of the community organisations considering taking on the old Lidl building as a community managed space. We would be grateful if you would complete the community survey using the QR code or the link https://bit.ly/LanarkSurvey

Thank you!
