- Handwritten note on on facing page reads: "A million years of the winds and the weather - / Still monarch of all I survey / Forbidden? Not to the lovers of heather / And the beauties of nature gay / So I welcome you to my lofty towers / My rock gardens, lakes and my streams / Come and walk among my beautiful flowers / And then see them always - in dreams. / And ever anon when far down below me / Loading lives of pleasure or care / Refreshing will be your most fond memory / Your Castle, way up in the air. / G.A.G."
