"E.J. Ligertwood was Eliza Jane born Kilbarchan 02/11/1861 she died in 1941. Eliza was the second child of Alexander Ligertwood who was Factor for the Castle Semple Estate and occupant .of the house and Margaret Caldwell, they had 11 children, mostly female, they had three sons. Alexander Lewis 1869-1902, Thomas William 1871-1872 and one recorded as Infant son c1882."

I have been having a look at my notes about the Ligertwood family Patricia. The infant son that you mentioned was born and died on the 8th of October 1871. He was 1 and a half hours old, and died from premature birth. Poor wee soul.

Afraid I can't upload the photograph with the stables taken about 1880s, trying to get a more computer tech savvy person (my son) to see if he can reduce the picture size (mb) sufficiently for me to upload it. The map is Armstrong's map of 1775.
