'The ruins of an old house... that it is traditionally handed down that this building had never been completed or occupied, and that it was founded about 200 years ago, by a Sir Charles Inglis intentionally as a mansion for one of his sons.

By the appearance of the ruins and the ground around would indicate that it had never been a place of note or residence for a gentleman.'
