Biography

2ND BARONET

Sir Symon built his castle, referred to as “The Lee,” in the valley of the Brocklinn or Mashock Burn, a tiny stream which joins the river Clyde at Crossford a couple of miles away. The house that stands on that original site today is the re-built version by Sir Charles Macdonald Lockhart in about 1817. Later, the Lockharts sold the residence in order to pay the country’s increased taxation; it is no longer owned by a Lockhart.^[1]
