The accompanying descriptive text in the volume begins as follows:
'This old baronial mansion, a residence of the Right Hon. the Earl of Dalhousie, is pleasantly situated on the left bank of the south Esk, in the parish of Cockpen. It is about three miles from Dalkeith and two from Lasswade. In ancient times it was an imposing edifice of a square form and turreted. It was encompassed by a strong wall, and was supplied with other means of defence, making it a place of very great strength. In recent times it has been modernised, although it still retains traces of its antique appearance.'
The full text may be viewed from the volume which is held at the Edinburgh and Scottish Collection, Central Library, Edinburgh.
Dalhousie Castle is now a luxury Hotel and Spa.
