If I were at Br[echin I]
could tell you better
about the lands of
Carnegie - so far, at
least as regards the
time that they passed
from the family of Carnegie
- There is no doubt but
there was a baronial
residence, altho' [although] of small
importance on the estate -
& as We have never been
very scrupulous in Scotd. [Scotland] in
giving the dignified name
of castle to buildings
that but little
deserve it, I think you
might safely give the
same here. I have
a MS. [manuscript] note about the
house of Carnegie at Brechin
dated 1719, but am not sure how it
is designated.

Carmyllie Castle was long
occupied by Strachans under the
Roman lords.
