Hi Carolyn
This is probably a bit late but... St Charles's was an institution for -mainly - mentally ill catholic children and was run by nuns from 1925 - 1983. Access to St Charles's was via a road through woodland - either from Carstairs Village or Carstairs Junction. When I was young - 10/11/12 sort of age - we used to go to St Charles's regular and give the lads a game of football. It was also always a great site to see the kids appear in Carstairs for the annual Gala Day first Saturday in June.
