EXTERNAL REFERENCE
At Newlands there was once 'a castle, or fortlet, of great strength if we may judge from the breadth of the remaining portion thereof, and the great size of the stones used in the building. A second strength has been erected near or on the site of the old one: a cut free- stone is to be seen with the letters E.R.H.'
The situation commands an extensure view of the Vale of Nith.
T Johnston 1825-7
NX 9621 8513. 'The present building of Newlands occupies the site of the former structures mentioned above. Attempts by Mr Duncan, the owner, to find the inscribed stone have failed.
