016.12 | Mr. Ure in his history of Kilbride and Rutherglen published in 1793 gives the following acct. [account] of Pickprivick Castle. " The Mansion- house or Castle of Pickprivick had once been no contemptible building. It was constructed like the houses of the great during the feudal system, with Towers, battlements etc. The whole was about 60 years ago reduced to ruins and nothing now remains but but some searched? rubbish. Not far from the building is an artificial mound of earth which continues pretty entire, it is about 14 feet in height." This mound is still entire and from it can be seen Mains Castle near Kilbride, but there are no visible remains of the Castle. |
