Easter Ogil

Pont 30 (back): West Water and Noran WaterTimothy Pont, c. 1583 – 1614map image courtesy of NLS

Easter Ogil was a castle belonging to the Lyon family but nothing of it now remains.

The lands of Easter Ogil were owned by the Lyon family from the 14th century.

E: ogill is marked as a two storey tower with pitched roof on Pont’s late 16th century map.

I have placed the site of the tower at Easter Ogil House, built in the mid-19th century, pending further research.
