| DUNGLASS on the Site of DUNGLASS CASTLE | Dunglass Castle site of | James Hall Esqr. Dunglass George Affleck Bilsdean |
012 | The present Mansion house of Dunglass stands on the site of this old castle which was once the Stronghold of the Earls of Home but not a vestige now remains of it except a cellar about 1 chain in front of the house situated in a clump of evergreens but Mr. Hall could not say whether it was actually a part of the Castle or Some of the out offices. I therefore could not write remains of Castle to it as there was no authority for such |
