90 - Tynninghame House
"Tynninghame-house stands between 2 and 3 furlongs
westard from the north bank of the Tyne. Though
a patchwork of pieces added by each of the successive
Earls, it had had its exterior walls so entirely re-edified
and re-modelled by the present Earl so as to possess uniquely
the appearance of a very large mansion in the old English
style. The interior retains, with little attection, its
original form." (Fullarton's Gazetteer of Scot. [Scotland] Vol [Volume] 2)
