10th March 1853
Sir
Will you please inform
me was there a Castle, or Baronial
Residence of note at Hoppringle.
In the new Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] there
is notice of the remains of a
Castle existing at the above named
farm house and is described as
being of Considerable Strength &c.
Do you Consider that the farm
house of Hoppringle or its offices are
built on the side of a castle?
or is there any part of the Castle
remaining at present?
Can you state what time it
was built?
What family was proprietor?
Is there any traditions in the locality
relating to it?
What was its name or designation?
Your answers on the opposite
margin of this letter will very much oblige.
Henry James
J. Borthwick
Crookston
March 18th/53.
Sir
In reply to your favr [favour] of
the 10th I beg to say that
I have no knowledge of any
Castle or Baronial residence
having ever existed at Hoppringle
My answer is the same to this
query. Indeed I am certain
there are no traces whatever
of any castle having ever existed
at Hoppringle.
With the exception of a short
period the place has been
in the possessin of my family
for centuries.
I am
Sir
your most obed [obedient] Servant

[Note] "It is not Known that there are any remains of an ancient Castle"higher up Gala Water than Stow except that of Hop-Pringle, opposite "CrooKston, and Howliston Tower, On the opposite Side of the Gala, now "occupied as the farm house. The walls are four feet in thicKness "and from this place you have a very extensive view. While the evidence "of the former existence of such a building precludes all dubiety the "remains of it are so slender, that it is difficult even to to trace the precise "form and extent of the Structure. It was anciently possessed by the family "of the Hop-Pringles, the Chieftain family of this Clan or tribe to which most "of the lands of Gala Water anciently belonged." Stat. [Statistical] Acct. [Account] of Edinburghshire Page 417
It appears by the annexed letter received from the proprietor of Hoppringle that there never was a Castle here and therefore disproves the notice Concerning it in the Stat. [Statistical] Acct. [Account] [?]
