    House & Family History: Sir Walter Scott, a friend of William Lockhart's, visited the Milton Lockhart Estate in 1829 and wrote of his time there: "We went to Milton on as fine a day as could consist with snow on the ground. The situation is eminently beautiful; a fine promontory round which the Clyde makes a magnificent bend. We fixed on a situation where the sitting room should command the upper view, and, with an ornamental garden, I think it may be made the prettiest place in Scotland." (Scott, 1890, pg. 405)
