      @@amacmedia3221 Sadly no, that plan died the death and a local farmer has bought the place and land I believe. It would make a great country house for the Scottish Government (like Chequers in England). I've posted a message for you on the Maybole FB page.

    My family & I visited here 2 days ago (15th June 21) whilst looking back at my photos yesterday I noticed from the front & the back of the house 3rd window in on the left what appears to be a womanly figure standing there. Which prompted me to search for further info which lead me here. First photo I took was from the back of the house 3rd window in on the left. 2nd photo from the front of the house 3rd window in on the right, the shape I see appears to be facing the camera on both shots, very creepy!
