Mauldslie Castle, a mansion in Carluke parish, Lanarkshire, near the right bank of the Clyde, 3 miles W of Carluke town. Built for the fifth Earl of Hyndford in 1793, after designs by Adam, it is a large two-story edifice, with round flanking towers, and stands in an extensive, richly-wooded park. Its owner, William Wallace Hozier, Esq. (b. 1825; suc. 1878), holds 517 acres in the shire, valued at £1909 per annum. The barony of Mauldslie, a royal forest once, was held by the Danyelstowns from the middle of the 14th century till 1402, by the Maxwells from 1402 till the first half of the 17th century, and from 1649 till 1817 by the Carmichaels, its two last holders being fifth and sixth Earls of Hyndford.—Ord. Sur., sh. 23, 1863.
