053 This Castle occupied the site of the present farmsteading of Balloch, no traces of it now remains, but several of the hewn stones belonging to it, occupy a place in the buildings of the present offices. little or nothing of it is known by the inhabitants. John Powrie, Shangie pointed out the situation as marked by cross on trace, where he recollects seeing a portion of the wall standing about 60 years ago. Captain The Hon [Honourable] W Ogilvy of Loyal and Thomas Mckenzie Hill Street Alyth corroborates the same. It is said to have been occupied by a family of the name Rollo as the following quotation from the Old Stat. [Statistical] Account of Ruthven tends to show. "Tradition says that the Church of Ruthven was erected by the Earl of Crawford, proprietor of the barony of Inverquiech for the accommodation of his tenants, several of them having been killed by the Rollos of Balloch in going to their parish Church of Alyth"
John Shangie knows the name of Rollo in connexion with Balloch; and I am informed by Mr. Japp of Alyth that the Rollo arms have been found carved on a stone of the Old Bridge at Alyth. [signed] JB LCol. [Lieutenant Colonel]
