PITCON CASTLE

 

Photo (c) Eleanor and Clyde Moore          clyde2@ix.netcom.com   http:www.PHOTOSbyELEANOR.com Pitcon Castle is located about 1 mile north and east of Dalry in Ayrshire and is between the streams of Pitcon and Rye, in the parish of Dalry, Cunninghame, Ayrshire. The present Pitcon is a late 18th century mansion that was built on the site of a castle or old house that was a property of the Boyds in the 16th century. The Arms of the Boyds of Pitcon are the same as the Kilmarnock family, with the motto; Spes mea in Colis" (My hope is in heaven), and their principal estate was Pitcon, in the parish of Dalry, in Cunninghame, which was in their possession until 1770, when Thomas Boyd, the last of that branch sold it to George Macrae.     [The Boyd family, AS Boyd Jr., 1924]
