An ancient fabric to which a modern mansion has been added,
finely situated on the crest of the precipitous bank of the
River Ayr. It is probable that the south-west portion is an
old keep, and that the north-east portion is a later
addition, the floors being on different levels; by this
enlargement a great hall was obtained on the first floor; at
about this time a parapet with ornamental corbelling and
bartizans was carried round the building.
