of a hand, head, and sceptre, upon each, they had been struck in many different places, both in Scotland and England as appeared by one side, on the other side, they bore the impression and name, of one or other of the contemporary princes, Henry II of England, or King William of Scotland, Some that had been struck at Stirling had the words Re Villain; Re being the gaelic word for King" The spot is now covered by the present building Property of the Heritors |

There is a large Hall attached, which the "New Statl. [Statistical] account describes thus 'Forming the back wing of the castle of Darnaway Stands an ancient hall measuring 89 feet long by 35 feet broad. Its lofty roof is supported by massif beams of oak, and resembles those of Parliament House of Edinburgh, and Guildhall London. It is said to have been erected by Thomas Randolph, Earl of Moray. A large table of oak, and a chair of the same material which bear evident marks of great antiquity are still preserved as memorials of the office and hospitality of the Regent." The hall forms the western

There was a large Hall attached to the Ancient Castle of Darnaway, and a large Hall still stands on the Site of the old one, but it is all quite modern, with the exception of the interior of the roof which was supported by machinery untill the present walls were built to support it. It still retains the name of Randolph's Hall. |
