Bilboa Court described in 1840 as following; 'This was once the seat of the Rev.d Dean Story, by whom it was built between the years 1690 and 1700. He was also a Colonel under King William,. and after his death was interred in the same townland. After him the place was occupied by two other colonels successively, the last of whom was Col. Wilson in 1769. Since then it gradually decayed to its present state. Its ruin is now 3 story high in a square form, about 60 feet [18.3m] each side, and chiefly brick work, except the corners, doors, windows, etc., which are of cut stone. It has about 40 windows, besides numerous and spacious vaults & cellars, with the remains of orchards and other works' (OSNB, Doon parish).
