063 | A small castellated building which Mr. Soutar believes to have been built about the latter end of the 17 century. It has Offices attached which lye on the opposite side of the road. The property of Miss Blair Oliphant. "Ardblair Castle - one of those ancient massive-looking structures which partake, in a nearly equal degree, of gloomy, frowning, suspicious-looking style of the olden time, and the more open and commodious fashion of our own days. On each side of the level piece of green sward betwixt the mansion and the road, stands a row of magnificent lime trees, apparently coeval with the fabric itself, flanked on each by groves of various kinds of timber, affording shelter to a large and noisy colony of crows. The Castle is one of the family seats of Mr. Blair Oliphant of Gask and Ardblair, but has long ceased to be honoured with the residence of any of the family; and it is now Occupied by the tenant of the adjoining farm." The Perthsire Constitutional Septr. [September] 30th. 1840 |
