039 | The Site of an ancient Castle not a vestige of which remains at present. It was the residence of John Muir mentioned in Sir Walter Scott's Tragedy of Auchendrane. Patterson in his History of Ayrshire says "not a vestige of the building now remains. The only memorial left of it is a yew tree, the age of which it is impossible to guess at. The Dule tree, respecting which Sir Walter Scott tells a characteristic anecdote of the last Laird of Auchendrane, was Cut down and Sold to a Cabinet-maker". Adjacent are the roofless walls of what was intended for a Cothouse but never finished. |
