| Kelly Castle (Continued) | 046 | [continued from page 38] Neither the period when the Castle of Kelly was built nor the proprietors through a long series of ages can now be traced. Tradition however has handed down a circumstance which deserves notice viz. that one Ouchterlony laird of Kelly was violently active in demolishing the Abbey of Aberbrothock. Nor is it unlikely that he considered every religious fabric as a relict of idolatry. And being remarkable for the activity of his zeal he was appointed by the convention to carry this barbarous deed into execution. To describe at large the beauties of Kelly and do justice to nature's varied charms would require uncommon descriptive powers. The soil does not refuse nourishment to trees of foreign birth. At present there is in the garden a tree called the Dall-hound-holly remarkable for its beauty. Then exposed to the sun and sheltered from the chilly blast it has grown up to full maturity. Old Stat.
