[Object]
Merton - Site of Castle
Ghost Knowe - Hillock
[Note] *I rather think, that this Myrtoun
Castle, refers to another part of the
County, to wit, the Southern end of the
Parish of Mochrum,
I can find no account of any
Castle as stated above, there was
evidently a Gentleman's House at
this place but I do not think there was
any thing more. [Initialled] W.S.L [W S Loop]
