Renniehill, Pediment and Inscriptions.
In the boundary wall of the policy, opposite the farm-steading, is inserted a small dormer pediment with a circular hole 10 inches in diameter, below which is the date 1638. The house bears on the north side a fragment of a panel dated 1706, and an old sill , which has been inserted and is inscribed, G.S. E.B. 1644, for George Strang and Elizabeth Bothwell.
On a pediment built into the west gable the initials G.S. and E.B. appear below a shield parted per pale: dexter, a chevron ensigned with a cross between three mascles, for Strang or Strange; sinister, a chevron between three trefoils slipped, for Bothwell.
