A house at Over Cranston is depicted on the 1744 'A New and Correct Map of the Lothians from Mr Adair's observations' by John Elphinstone.
'This house stood near the farm of Remote. Upper Cranston was also known as New Cranston. Both names have dropped out of currency. Sir James Dalrymple of Upper Cranston and Cousland, married Elizabeth Hamilton MacGill, the heiress of Nether Cranston (Oxenfoord) in 1760. She succeeded to her estate in 1779. Thus, the two Cranstons were united in the hands of one family.'
The photographic reproduction of the drawing of Upper Cranston, held in the NMRS, is annotated; 'Upper Cranston, Sir John Dalrymple 176*'
