Description

An ancient fabric to which a modern mansion has been added,

finely situated on the crest of the precipitous bank of the

River Ayr. It is probable that the south-west portion is an

old keep, and that the north-east portion is a later

addition, the floors being on different levels; by this

enlargement a great hall was obtained on the first floor; at

about this time a parapet with ornamental corbelling and

bartizans was carried round the building.
