| CLEISH CASTLE | Description of Cleish Castle Continued | [continued from page 37] Binn probably a son of the last one mentioned celebrated by Sir David Lindsay of the Mount in his Poems. From the Meldrums the estate and Castle passed into the hands of the noble family of Colville of Culross, who from the date given on the uppermost part of the Castle added two Stories besides an Attic reaching to nearly Seventy feet in height Commanding an extensive view of Kinrosshire Perth and Fifeshires. On the South Side of the Castle are Terraces which until lately were more extensive. Along these are remarkably fine Old Yew Trees evidently bearing testimony to the great antiquity of the building which they Ornament. In 1775 the Castle and Estate became the property of a Mr. Graham who sold it in 1795 to the [Uncle] of the present proprietor Mr. Young. A few years ago it was made habitable again at a considerable expense and is at present the residence or the Owner Henry Young Esquire. |
