What is recorded here
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Doon House, 'st Evoca's Priory' as Priory (medieval)(possible). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
St. Evoca, also known as Evoc, was a 6th-century Irish saint associated with several holy sites in Scotland and Ireland, particularly linked to healing and protection. The name of the priory suggests a possible connection to early Christian monastic traditions, though specific folklore or recorded cures related to this site are not well documented.
