[Page] 17 Sheet 55.4 -- Parish of Girvan
" The ancient castle of Ballochtoul stood between two trees at a short distance
" to the south East of the parish Church, in a field graced by what the good folks of the
" burgh style the big tree. This building belonged to the ancient family of the Boyds.
" No traces of the ruins now exist, the last remnant of the fabric having been removed
"about thirty years ago to build a house for the factor on the Bargany Estate."
Extracted from Wyllies 'Ayrshire Streams ' (published 1851)
" Southward from the Kirk of Girvan stands the tower of Ballochtowll, a monument
" of the builder's folly, being raised five story high, without a staircase, & nomore but
" one room in each story. ** The builder of this house, Boyd of Penkill, procured a
" patent for building a new burgh at Girvan " Abercrummie's Description of Carrick.
