The castellated and domestic architecture of Scotland, from the twelfth to the eighteenth century . rgaret Gordon. The Houstons owned a considerable amount of landabout the Isle and Whithorn, especially those of Drummaston, an oldbarony immediately to the south of Whithorn, the court hill of which isstill in existence, and the baiony book is in the possession of Sir AndrewA gnew. The door to the vault has been at the north end, but it is now builtup, and a door l^roken out to the south through what must have been awindow. Above this are two floors with large modern windows, and nowpresent no features of interest.

The roof timbers are of home-grown oak, and the slating is fixed tothe sarking with wooden pegs. Jhe building is entirely rough-cast andwhitewashed, so that nothing can be seen of the old masonry..

Nuinerous books exist which treat of the scientific construction otsundials, and in which definite rules are laid down for the guidance of thedial-maker, so as to ensure his producing a work which will accuratelynote the passing hours. But it is not a little surprising that there shouldbe no well-illustrated book dealing with sundials as objects of artisticdesign and skill, showing how they changed in appearance as differentstyles of art prevailed, and how the types of one
