| Cloncaird Castle continued |
[continued from page 95] construction of the modern building, one is a high pointed arch, which forms the entrance to the Kitchen Court, and supports a heraldic Stone much defaced, upon the escutcheon however may still be discerned a rampant Griffin, Boars head, and the worn letters of an old English motto. The other is a tower projecting into the court. The offices attached to the Castle are low Slated buildings, forming the larger portion of a circle, divided by a broad battlemented tower. The Stables - at Some distance from the mansion - have preserved in the details of construction the architectural style of the latter. The situation of the Castle is happily chosen, On one Side it is built to the edge of a rugged, wooded dell - huge old trees are scattered profusely over the Ornamental ground, and the Water of Girvan near it through a precipitous glen, The Gardens are extensive, exhibit great taste, and are Supplied with conservatories; The Castle & Gardens are the property of Mrs. Ritchie.- |
