038 | The ruins of an old castle supposed to have belonged to the middle of the 17th Seventeenth century but no authentic information can be obtained as to the exact date of its erection. The walls are still good, but have a very blackened appearance. - They are about twenty feet in height, and are of an immense thickness, but there is nothing of the inside work remains except a small portion of the slaincale and loose pasmeals of partitions which have seperated one apartment from the other. |

[Page] 40 -- Parish of Maybole"Dunduffe still exists in its unfinished state. It had been
"designed, apparently, to form an oblong square tower of considerable
" magnitude. The walls are as high as the second story, which
" seems to have been intended for the dining-room. The windows are
" large and the apartment has , even in its unfinished and ruinous state,
"a light and pleasant appearance. The site of the castle, on the range of
" hills not far from Dunure, commands a beautiful prospect. The ruins
"do not seem older than the seventeenth century."
