017.16 | "The Castle of Darngaber, (i.e. the house between the water) is said to have been built by Thomas De Hamilton. Its ruins stand on a small knoll at the extremity of a tongue of land where two rivulets meet." New Statistical Account. "The foundations only of this ancient fortress can now be traced. They are entirely of flat shingly stones, without lime, & seem never to have been subjected to a tool." Patrick's Hamilton Directory. About 60 years ago the people of the neighborhood dug up the foundations in search of money etc. supposed to be hidden beneath. The knoll is as represented on Trace having a mass of loose stones & [rubble] on top of it, without any defineable outline of its remains, or shape. The site is easily recognised from the descriptions given. |
