of a square turretted tower with a cumbrous addition attached to the east side. The old
doorway bears above it a coronet and the letters J.L. in cipher. the initials of the then Livingstone
Earl of Linlithgow. An oak stair of massive workmanship still gives access to the upper stories
of the house inhabitted by labourers." -- New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] of Co. [County] Linlthgow page 26
