021.15 "Of the Castle of Kinneff nothing now remains but a small part of the foundations. It is mentioned by Buchanan in his History as having been garrisoned by the English, when they overran the Country during the minority of David Bruce. At what period it was permitted to fall to ruin does not appear; but Early in last Century "one high wall of the said Castle" is described as standing "so strongly cemented that stones may be easier won out of a Quarry" than from it." (Statistical Account of Kinneff page 314.)
A small portion of the foundation wall is yet to be seen, and the place is well known. [Initialled] B.R.
