Colzium

Colzium House and Estate (pronounced Coal-Zee-Um) is about 500 metres to the north-east of Kilsyth, North Lanarkshire, Scotland.

[3] W Mackay Lennox bought Colzium House and its policies in 1930 and in 1937, on his retiral as Town Clerk, he presented them to Kilsyth Burgh, in memory of his mother.

The house and estate are principally used for public recreation, as the venue for the annual Kilsyth International Carnival in mid August, an "Italian Picnic" – a gathering of Italian/Scottish families, and functions such as weddings and parties.

[4] The first building here was a large L-plan castle built by the Livingstons of Callendar in the mid-15th century to replace the ancient motte.

The castle was demolished by the 3rd Viscount of Kilsyth in 1703, immediately prior to his accession to the title.
