011.14 | In 1735, Col. [Colonel] McDowall demolished the Castle of Sempill, and built the present mansion house, which consists of three stories with wings. It is a neat edifice but not equal to the situation it occupies. The plantations and pleasure grounds have been laid out with the greatest skill. They contain upwards of 900 acres, subdivided into a great number of enclosures, are pervaded by about 12 miles of roads & walks, and are protected on the north by a strong wall, from three to four miles long. The eminences are covered with woods, and many trees adorn the lawns, sometimes in rows, & sometimes solitary The gardens on the rising ground, a little on the N [North] East of the house, were lately formed on an excellent plan, and at great expense. They contain a variety of trees, shrubs, and flowers foreign & indigenous, and add much to the beauty of the landscape" Ramsay's Views of Renfrewshire The grass on the lawns is allowed to grow and feeds many sheep. The factor agreed with me that they could not be termed ornamental ground. |
