| PEEL (Remains of) [Kirkhope] | Old Tower (Remains of), Peel (Remains of). | James Hope, Archibald Hogg, G. Vere Irving Esqr. | 053 | Near the farmhouse of Kirkhope are the remains of what appears to have been a place of considerable strength about 20 feet square, buolt of unknown stones strongly cemented or grouted together, after the style of the old Norman Castles. James Hope, shepherd of the farm of Crookburn states that, "He has resided in the neighbourhood 52 years (he is now 62 years of age) his first recollection of the place is, that at that time (52 years ago) it was a square building of unknown stones about 8 feet high and 3 feet thick and went by the name of Old Tower", at intervals the walls have been pulled down to build stone walls or fences and J. Hope states that it was almost impossible to pull down the walls the stones were so strongly cemented together. The only remains now left are what happens to be the bottom of the walls standing about 3 feet above the ordinary height of the ground and partly grown over with grass. G.V. Irving Esqr. a member of the antiquarian society says that he has not seen the ruins but from what I mentioned about them he considers it to be the remains of an ancient Peel. I made enquiry of the factor Wm. Maxwell Esqr., he made farther inquiry of the farmer James Milligan who referred me to John Wilson Esqr., Nunnery not one of the last mentioned know anything about it. |
