[East] side of Gore Burn a short distance E. [East] of Harvieston. It is not known in the locality when or by whom it was founded, There is the ruins of a very ancient castle on the estate of Harvieston which are traditionally assigned as the seat of the family before it became possessed of the domain of Lochenwort to which it afterwards gave the name of Borthwick. These ruins go by the name of the Old Castle of Catcune, and it is certain that the family were promiscuously designed by the titles Catcune, Legertwood and Heriotmuir before they assumed the title of Borthwick of that Ilk.
