The white house visible in the valley below is Hardington House, built in 1720 with later Victorian extensions, which was once the home of Lord Braxfield (1722-1799), a local man who became Lord Justice Clerk (the second-most senior judge in Scotland), with a fearsome reputation (although this is disputed by some). The house is a Grade B listed building: https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/200347487-hardington-house-wiston-and-roberton#.Yuad-y1Q13Q
