The accompanying descriptive text in the volume begins as follows:
'This mansion, the residence of Sir James Liston Foulis, is situated in the parish of Ratho, about six miles from Edinburgh.
The house, which consists of a castellated tower, to which a long stretch of building of lower elevation is attached, was built by the Right Hon. Sir Robert Liston, G.C.B., who resided there during the last fifteen years of his life, from 1821 to 1836, and who did much during that time to improve and beautify the grounds.'

The full text may be viewed from the volume which is held at the Edinburgh and Scottish Collection in Edinburgh Central Library.
