"The tower (of Greenan Castle) is not very old, at least the letters & figures
" 'J.K. 1603' appear over the doorway. John Kennedy was the proprietor
"at the time, and it is probable that the tower was wholly built by him. At the
" sametime, there is little doubt that some similar stronghold existed on the spot
" long previously. Mention is made of the castle in the reign of William the
"Lion, in the grant of the Doon fishings for the Abbey of Melrose. It was then
" the property of Roger de Scalebroc, a vassal of Duncan, Earl of Carrick.
"In 1510, it is mentioned as 'his own mansion house', in a notarial deed by
"Thomas Davidson dated 1st July of that year; & in various other documents it
" is shown that the barony of Greenan had a tower, or other place of residence,
"before the date of the present fabric', Patterson's History of Ayrshire (1847)
