013 Formerly stood where the present Farm Steading of Ryehill is situated, The following is quoted from the Revd. Dr [Reverend Doctor] Simpsons history of Sanquhar. "Between six and seven hundred years ago," says the Author of the Caledonia, "Godfrey de Ross obtained from Richard Moreville, the Constable of Scotland, the lands of Stew[arton], wherin he was succeeded by his Son, James, de Ross who granted some lands in this manner to the Monks of Paisley. Such were the Progenitors of the Rosses of Hawk[h]ill, of Ross of Sanquhar. in Nithsdale, and other families".-
[The quotation continues on the next page]
[Hand2] There is no Authority to shew that this stronghold was called Ryehill Castle - There is every probability that it was merely a Border Tower or Peel.-
