At a small distance to the eastward of the church stands the Abbey-house, built by Edward
Lord Kinloss, in 1590 and so called, perhaps from its being built in the vicinity and built of the
materials of the ancient abbey. It is a very fine building in a delightful situation and
commanding an extensive prospect of the Firth of Forth Stirlingshire and the Lothians.
This house was nearly demolished after it became the property of Sir Robert Preston
but was afterwards rebuilt by him.
