Turnerhall, 1861, D MacAndrew. Owes its name to the wish of John Turner of Birse, merchant in Danzig, to perpetuate his name. (In the 17th century the name of the area went from Hilton to Rosehill to Turnerhall.) The sixth laird built a 'striking if not very attractive' house of two storeys with gabled wings, deep eaves, round-headed double and tripartite windows and a four-storey square entrance-tower, off centre and slightly institutionalised. Demolished, 1933, walled
garden and kennels left.
