Wishaw House was a large mansion located in Wishaw, Scotland. Once the family seat of the Belhavens and Hamiltons, the mansion was abandoned by the 20th century and was demolished, now nothing more than a ruin in the woodland by the South Calder Water.
Historically located in the parish of Cambusnethan, the land which the house would sit on was purchased by Lord Belhaven at some point after the year 1405, however the house would not be constructed until 1665. It was on the site of earlier farmsteads, in the dense woodland that once covered the town of Wishaw. Although the house itself is from the 1600s, analysis shows it actually was built from farmhouses and barns, that were at least a century older. Peel towers also existed in the vicinity. It is said that the house was originally gifted by Charles I to nobles, but eventually it fell to the Hamiltons of Wishaw.
