Candor and Dissimulation.
Glenshee Castle was built by the father of the then Lord Cullamore, at a cost of upwards of one hundred thousand pounds.

Its general effect and situation were beautiful, imposing, and picturesque in the extreme.

Its north and east sides, being the principal fronts, contained the state apartments, while the other sides, for the building was a parallelogram, contained the offices, and were overshadowed, or nearly altogether concealed, by trees of a most luxuriant growth.

In the east front stood a magnificent circular tower, in fine proportion with it; whilst an octagon one, of proportions somewhat inferior, terminated the northern angle.
