OS 6" map, (1967)
Nothing now remains to mark the site of the old building which was removed about the 1830s when the present mansion of the same name was built (at NS 9685 8585). It is said to have been built by an Archbishop Hamilton, about 1632. Hallen, however, states that no archbishop of that name was then living; John Hamilton of Blair was one of the heritors of the parish.
