[Quotation below Newton Castle:]
"Newton House once the seat of the proprietors of
the barony of Blairgowrie, is an old building something
in the style of a Castle. It stands about the middle
of the south slope of the range of high ground which bounds Strathmore
on the north. This house was rebuilt on the foundation of the old house, said
to be burnt down by Oliver Cromwell. Many Gentlemen were miraculously
saved in a vault of the old house while it was burnt down"
