013 | Eliock estate consists of about five thousand acres of Land, divided into different Farms, the property of James Veitch Esqr. Eliock house on Eliock Burn. is a very ancient building. it is not known at what period it was first built. The Circular Tower and some of the Walls have the appearance of an ancient Castle. being looped and vaulted, is notable as the birthplace of the Admirable Crichton whose mental accomplishments and whose prodigious acquirements in literature and science are almost incredible considering the age in which he lived, The apartment in which he was born is carefully preserved in its original state. His Father was an eminent advocate. and a Lord of session in the reigns of Mary and James VI and soon after the birth of his distinguished Son he sold Elliock Estate to Dalzells afterwards earls of Carnwarth and removed to an estate in the Parish of Clunie in Perthshire a circumstance which has frequently occasioned Clunie to be mistakenly named as the place of the Admirable Crichton's Nativity |
