Field Visit (April 1990)
NO24SE 70 2872 4465.
Three triangular pediments are incorporated in the gable and front wall of a house at the centre of the village. They were removed by
the occupier from South West Fullarton Steading (NO24SE 76) and were originally presumably derived from Fullarton Castle (NO24SE 58).
One of the pediments bears the inscription YIS.HOVS.IS.BULDS B{} ELESOBETH.BETOVN L.FVLLERTOVN and the initials EB WF. She is probably to be identified as Elizabeth, daughter of Robert Bethune of Balfour, who married David Lindsay in 1609, though she outlived him and died in 1666. The arms of Balfour and Beaton are quartered on a second pediment. The third pediment bears the arms of Fullerton of that ilk and the initials WF, probably William Fullerton, who married, on or before 1648, Margaret, eldest daughter of Elizabeth and David Lindsay.
Visited by RCAHMS (IMS) April 1990.
