Letter From Mr Thomson Describes Scottish Shore and Legends
A fragment from a 1908 letter sketches the Ayrshire coast near Girvan and Lendal, detailing sea caves such as Arduuillan, Barerochan, and Brunan, and narrates legends of Sir John Hive and a doomed romance. It notes wrecks, local landmarks, religious history, and epitaphs in a parish church yard, including Kennedy lineage and Bargany tomb.

Bargany Kennedys and Bargany Ardstindar Tomb Relic
The memorial centers on the Bargany Kennedys with initials G I Api Gilbert Kennedy and Janet Stewart and recalls the laird’s death and the family’s fall from prominence. The funeral drew nobility to Bargany and Ardstindar, the estate later broken up and sold, leaving the ruined castle and tomb as the remaining relics of their once grand line.
