The accompanying descriptive text in the volume begins as follows:
'Salton Hall, the residence of John Fletcher, Esq., is situated in the parish of Salton, in the county of East Lothian. It was formerly a fortified place of some strength, but in recent years has been modernised and highly improved. As it now exists it is a building in the Elizabethan style of architecture, having a great square tower which forms a very imposing feature in the general scenery of the district.'

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

Salton Hall has now been renovated into flats.
