Excerpt from Remarks on Local Scenery Manners in Scotland During the Years 1799 and 1800, Vol. 2

The rain continuing the next day, prevented out going farther than Dunstafianage, from whence, after making a fruitless effort to brave the weather, we were obliged to return to our inn. The hospi table proprietor, indeed, of the estate, Camp belh Esq. Very pressingly desired us to take up our night's lodging at Dunstafianage but our plans not allowing it, we were obliged to decline the offer, though not without a Strong sense of obligation as we had had no introduction to that gentleman. This castle was once a royal residence (tradition assigns its foundation to Ewain, a Pictish king), and here were long preserved some of the regalia of Scotland. The ancient walls, which are partly in a state of ruin, form a square, with large circular towers at each angle in the interior is a more modern house.
