[Notes] -- "The house of Garleton too may be mentioned under this head
It appears to have been a place of magnificence but is now almost
in ruins. It is beautifully situated at the foot of the Garleton
Hills, at the west end of a large strath of fertile land, and
Commands a delightful prospect of a large
proportion of the lower lands of East Lothian." -- Old Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] vol. [volume] 10 page 175
