| RUIN [Old Orbiston House] | Ruin Ruin Ruin Ruin |
Mrs. Douglas, Proprietress Mrs. Cross, Bellshill J. Blakely, Orbiston House J. Dick, Bellshill |
011.12 | This upon the authorities quoted, is the remains of the old House of Orbiston which was, with the exception of the gable end wall of some part of the house - not known, demolished about 50 years ago, when the present mansion was erected. There are some portions of an arched stone roof about 6 or 7 feet from the ground remaining in the inner side of the gable end. The wall is not above the ordinary thickness. It is believed to be of great age, but of what exact date can't be ascertained. The Dove Cot appears to be old too. It lies between the Mansion house & the Ruin. The old retainers of "Orbiston House" well remember the Ruin when it was the mansion House, but they do not think the Dove Cot to be as old as the Ruin is. More definite information is not to be had. |
