" The House is a Picture, it is all Beauty; the stone is white and fine, the Order regular, the Contrivance elegant, the workmanship exquisite. Dryden's Lines, intended for a Compliment on his Friend's Poetry, and quoted before, are literally of the House of Kinross. Strong Dorick Columns form the Base. Corinthian fills the upper Space. So all below is Strength, and all above is Grace. " Daniel Defoe in Tour through Great Britain Volume II.
