[in] the parish of Dalmeny Linlithgowshire, In 1620 it
passed by Sale from the Mowbrays and is now
the property of the Earl of Roseberry. Its site is
close to the Firth of Forth and the sea has in its
enroachments here completely washed away the

necessary to erect a bulwark for the safety of the castle " -- Fullarton's Gazetteer of Scotland
