"At Cramalt are the ruins of a tower house in which Dr
Pennecuik says he has seen a very large Harts Horn upon the wall for a
Cloak & infers that it has been a hunting seat of the Kings of Scotland
"This may easily be supposed from Hunter of Rolwood's Charter".

of Meggot of Meggot". Armstrong's Companion to his map Page. 66.
