Continued entries/extra info

Crawford Castle continued:-

that he considers the Chapel to have been within the Castle but cannot state the particular part, but information regarding the Castle is very vague and difficult to obtain. "The old Castle of Crawford or Tower Lindsay bears every mark of having been strongly fortified and surrounded by water. There are various traditions regarding it but none of them seem to be particularly interesting." New Statistical Account.

Note from Old Statistical Account.

"Tower Lindsay, which is adjacent to the village on the other side of the Clyde, was no doubt, a fortified place. The present Castle scarcely deserves the name, but the ancient tower was famous even in the days of Wallace." - (Old Statistical Act. Vol. 4 P.515).
