In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Hyndford like this:
Hyndford, a hamlet and an estate in Lanark parish, Lanarkshire. The hamlet, on the right bank of the Clyde, 2½ miles SE of Lanark town, bears the name of Hyndford-Bridge, from a narrow five-arch bridge across the river, erected in the latter half of last century. The estate, extending along the Clyde both above and below the hamlet from early in the 16th century, has belonged to the family of Carmichael, and gave them the title of Earl in the peerage of Scotland from 1701 till 1817.—Ord. Sur., sh. 23, 1865. See Carmichael.
