They carried her back, in dear remembrance, to the perplexing and enchanting discoveries which Richard Calmady's visit to Ormiston Castle the many-towered, gray house looking eastward across the unquiet sea had brought to her.
For ten years its builder, the first Earl of Queensbury, labored on the structure, only to pass a single night in the completed building, never to revisit it, and ending his days grieving over the fortune he had squandered on this many-towered pile of gray stone. We may not loiter along the Nithdale road, rich as it is in traditions and relics of the past.
