The ruins of an ancient building "said to have been a hunting seat of one or more of the Kings of Scotland" It has evidently been a place of some note - although never apparently of great dimensions, the walls are still standing which are about 2 feet thick & very much defaced, & bearing indication of its having been inhabited for a considerable time past On a stone over one of the interior doors are the initials R. H. with a heart & the date 1678, & the same characters appear on a Corse stone leaning against the ruins with the exception of the date which is 1638
