 In about 1960 a modern house was created out of the kitchen wing.An early description of the ruin was given in about 1824 by Eneas Mackenzie who said that the greater part of the building had been taken down about 12 years ago by Bertram Mitford (1777-1842) who was intending to build a new house across the river.This means that it was probably dismantled in about 1812.
