For the whole building, see Image and Image This detail is from above the entrance that appears on the right in those pictures. "Erected 1889 in Memoriam JTG". (Or ITG, depending on how the first glyph is read.) As described at the first of the above links, the previous Geilston Halls, which was on the same site, had been destroyed by fire. The JTG/ITG commemorated by this inscription on the second building is, I believe, the Joseph Tucker Geils whose initials also appear on an old well in nearby Geilston Gardens: Image
