Old Statistical Account Mr. Peter Edington Estate Map 1772 Valuation Roll 1857-8 Johnstone's Co. [County] Map |
107 | "The house, in which the family have resided for a century bygone, and in which it now resides, is on the same rock with the Castle, a little to the eastward. It is a plain building, that had originally been intended as only a temporary lodging, but is now enlarges, and made very convenient, and although an old house modernized (like many other seats in the parish), yet its pleasant situation, and its beautiful and unbounded prospect to the eastward, attract the notice and the admiration of every stranger." Old Statistical Account "The modern castle is a little east from the old, on the same rock, and forms two sides of a square, and although not, at all, such a mansion as the family would have, were they residing constantly in the place, it is, however, comfortable as a summer residence during their visit, and is often the abode of the first nobility of the land." New Statistical Account Immediately at the south of the Castle is an extensive and very beautiful flower garden, laid out in the Dutch taste, it contains, also, a number statues of very eminent persons, fountains, and a sun dial of very curious construction. The descent to the gardens from the castle is very abrupt, and is accomplished by several series of stone steps. |
