Mr. Craig: Surveyor. Robert Orr. Mr. Buchanan |

| Site of LORABANK CASTLE | Site of Lorabank Castle. Site of Lorabank Castle |
New: Stat: Acct. [New Statistical Account] Mr. Buchanan Mr. Orr |
014.04 | This Castle stood on ground a little south of the farm house now Covered with trees. Mr. Orr (son of the Robert Orr alluded to - the only person who could give me any information respecting it) pointed out the site to me. He could give me no dimensions, nor were there any appearances on the ground from which the extent of the former building might be conjectured. There is a slight eminence in the plantation out of which he says the foundations were dug. Close to this eminence, but in the field south of it, are two small grassy mounds evidently formed of the debris, as large hewn stones protrude in many places from their surface. I could get no more information, & I have marked the site thus (+) [site of monument symbol] on trace. The name Langyard is now extinct. |

Ordnance Survey - Renfrew county
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Renfrew, which is in the west of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
