Mauldslie Castle, part of the Mauldslie Estate, was located in Dalserf, South Lanarkshire, Scotland.
The nearby village of Rosebank was established before 1816 by the estate's workers.
History Developed around a mediaeval tower house dating to the 16th century, in 1792 a baronial mansion was built by Thomas Carmichael, 5th Earl of Hyndford, to a design by Robert Adam."The great houses of the Clyde Valley that disappeared" – The Scotsman, 13 September 2017

Andrew, 6th Earl of Hyndford, and his nephew, Archibald Nisbet, Earl of Carfin, owned the estate after Thomas' death. They split the estate, with the lower part taken over by Archibald. Andrew, the last Earl of Hyndford, died in 1817 without issue. His upper part of the estate passed to Sir Windham Carmichael-Anstruther. The lower part later passed to Gordon of Harperfield, then William Dixon.
