OS1/15/53/13A [Page] 13a Ordnance Survey Office 27th April 1853. Revd [Reverend] Sir, Will you have the goodness to inform me what was the ancient name of Herdmanston. Whether simply Herdmanston, or Herdmanston Castle? Is the present house of Herdmanston part of the ancient Castle? or is it the ancient one modernised? Can you inform me what is the date of its foundation? Has it been noted for any historical event connected with the Border Wars? Your answers in the opposite margin will much oblige. I have the honour to be Sir Your obdt Servt [obedient servant] Revd [Reverend] Mr McWatt - Henry James "Hirdmeston" on Tombstone of Schir William Synclar date 1594. "Hirdmestoun" on tombstone of Dame Sibilla Cochborne his Fiance. without date. "Hermeston" and "Hermistoun" in Kirk Session records of Salton & Deanery of Had: [Haddington] yearly from 1635 downwards to 1660. I have found no evidence of its being called a castle. The ancient house whc [which] formed 2 sides of a square & with the exception of a tower (War?) at the north-west corner is still entire - castelates part of the present mansion and is easily distin- guisable from the additions from the great difference in the thickness of the walls. Date of the ancient house not known. One addition forming the other 2 sides of the square was made by Lord Sinclair in 1803: another by Lady Sibbils consisting of bedrooms &c. in 1832. Not to my knowledge. James McWatt Muir of Salton 25 May 1853.
