"Dunduffe still exists in its unfinished state. It had been
"designed, apparently, to form an oblong square tower of considerable
" magnitude. The walls are as high as the second story, which
" seems to have been intended for the dining-room. The windows are
" large and the apartment has , even in its unfinished and ruinous state,
"a light and pleasant appearance. The site of the castle, on the range of
" hills not far from Dunure, commands a beautiful prospect. The ruins
"do not seem older than the seventeenth century."
Patterson's History of Ayrshire (1847)
