Shieldhill, an ancient mansion in Libberton parish, Lanarkshire, 4 mile NW of Biggar. Alterations were made on it in 1820, but it still comprises a massive square keep, whose second story, now the dining-room, was the family chapel in pre-Reformation days. Held by his ancestors from at least 1432, the estate now belongs to John George Chancellor, Esq. (b. 1821; suc. 1841), who owns 1500 acres in the shire, valued at £1986 per annum.—Ord. Sur., sh. 24, 1864.
