The Site of an old house or private domicile on the southern bank of the Garpel Burn and on an elevation nearly a hundred feet above the bed of the Stream. James Barbour William Folds & John McCaul says that it is handed down by Tradition that a woman called Jean Gordon (daughter to one of the Gordons of Shirmers who were relatives to the noble family of Kenmure) who had trusted much to the constancy of one Lyndsay a Courtier from Ayrshire, She trusted and was deceived, which almost broke her heart. From thus the deceived Jean was determined never to trust to man again. At length she decided to build a Cottage in some solitary Glen, and devote the remainder of her days to devotion. She obtained this spot of ground to her mind from the Gordons then of Holme, her domicile was erected, & she took up her abode in it sometime in the beginning of the 17th Century. |
