St Enoch's Hall or Tannochside (NAT)
OS 6" map (1935-6/38)
A large mansion. On the west side over the porch or hall door the date 1683, is cut on a triangular stone having a coat of arms above it. The house south of the mansion formerly detached from it, has a Gothic Window on the front or west side, like that of a chapel. It is almost as high as the mansion, but does not appear to have ever had an upper flooring. No information can be obtained of it's being a chapel. The present proprieter James Hosier Esq, changed the name of this estate (about 1840) from Tannochside to St Enoch's Hall. The title deeds are in the name of Tannochside.
