006 | This is the site and remains of the old house of Kinnear, for a long period the residence of the Kinnears of that ILK (of Kinnear). The only remains of the house at present are two portions of the wall of the Western side, which stand about twenty feet high. It stood on a Knoll, which has the appearance of having been artificially formed for its site. The authorities are of opinion that it was surrounded by a Moat, but if so all traces thereof have long disappeared. |
