The mansion stands near the eastern base of the Kilpatrick Hills, 3½ miles NE of Duntocher; is a large edifice of 1635; and has been converted into domiciles for the operatives of the bleachfield. The bleachfield lies on Craigton Burn, a rivulet rising on the Kilpatrick Hills, and running 3½ miles south-eastward to the Allander; and contains all appliances for the best treatment of yarns. A public school adjoins it.
