"Balbegno Castle. The date 1569, the figures of two males and one female, the inscription 'I. Wod and E. Irvein' below a shield with the Wood and Irvine arms, all on a carved panel above the highest front window of Balbegno Castle, show that it was erected in the time of John, the second of the Woods, proprietors of Balbegno And Thanes of Fettercairn."
