Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical and Descriptive Accounts of the Castles and Mansions, of Ayrshire The mansion-house, which was erected at the close of last century, is a commodious and unpretending structure, architecturally decorated with a porch supported upon elegant Corinthian pillars, and surmounted by a facade bearing sculptured urns at its three angles. The tympanum is filled in with a heraldic Shield and scroll-work in high relief. The river Annick, which gives its name to this residence, takes its rise in Renfrewshire, flowing south-westward by Stewarton, and falls into Irvine Water at a short distance above the town of Irvine.
