William Anderson Carslogie George Small Teacher David Mitchell Hilton |
010 | [situation] About 2 3/4 miles East of the Village of Letham. This was once the mansion house of Carslogie. It is very large and without the least attempt at ornament, and although nearly 700 years old, it has quite a modern appearance. The walls are all that remain unaltered, and these are 6 feet thick at the base but decrease from the first storey to 3 feet thick at the top. Only 4 flats remain, other 2 having been taken off; and a ditch which surrounded the house has been filled up. The soil of the garden is so rich as to have produced fruit equal in value to the rent of house and garden. The present proprietor is Lord Swan, who lets it separately from the farm steading of the same name. The house is unoccupied it being intended to convert it into dwellings for the farm servants of Carslogie. |
