The tantalising remains of the little-known Lesmahagow Priory in South Lanarkshire. Founded in 1144, everything but the priory church was quarried down to ground level for its stone in the 1600s. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/lesmahagow/priory/index.html

I’ve taken several little videos of hills and mountains from my train trip so far but I figure most people don’t really want to see a view of, say, Tinto capped with a dod of mist, because it’s just another rounded hill in the Scottish Southern Uplands (albeit the highest in South Lanarkshire). But I like it, and judging by the size of the Bronze Age cairn at the top, it meant something to our ancestors too.

Leadhills may not be an imaginative name for a village high in the Lowther Hills and founded on lead mining, but it is an apt one. Located just within South Lanarkshire, it is Scotland's second-highest village, after nearby Wanlockhead. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/leadhills/leadhills/index.html

The mighty medieval Bothwell Castle, built on a bluff above a bend in the River Clyde. Construction began in the latter half of the 1200s but invasion and repeated siege meant that the original design of the castle was never completed.
