Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Sir William Mure, Vol. 1: Of Rowallan; Edited With Introduction, Notes, and Glossary Rowallan Castle, the ancient residence of the Mures of Rowallan, stands on the banks of the Carmel Water, about three miles north of Kilmarnock. It is more than probable that at some remote period the stream, widening at this point, altogether surrounded the slight elevation on which the castle stands, and thus formed of it a small island rock or craig - a circumstance to which, it has been suggested, the name Rowallan is due. Several rocks of similar appearance in the Firth of Clyde, in the neighbourhood of the Cumbraes, are called Allans to the present day. The promontory forming the approach to the castle would perhaps sufficiently account for the first syllable of the name. The prominence occupied by it is stated by Crawfurd to have been called the "Craig of Rowallan," and the proprietors were sometimes designated therefrom "de Crag."
