These ruins are of the second house built on this property when it was acquired by the Leiths in the 1850s. It burned down in 1934, although the daughter of the Leiths continued living on the premises in a smaller house within it. There are plenty of ghost stories surrounding this place, mostly stemming from the death of William Black, who appeared hung in the barn, following a truncated love affair with a relative of the previous owner of the estate, Otto Ives.
