Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua hurihia e tētahi tokorua tētahi whare 600 tau te pakeke i hokona e rātau mō te £65,000 hei whare papai e £700,000 te utu. E waru tau a Janet rāua ko John Brennan i whakapau ai, ā, he rau mano pauna ki te huri i te whare o Barholm, i Dumfries me Galloway, mai i te ururua ki tētahi whare rangatira. I hokona e rātau te pā o te rau tau 15, e kiia ana i whakamahia e te kaiārahi o te Scottish Protestant Reformation John Knox hei wāhi huna, mō te £65,000 anake. Barnholm Castle i Dumfries me Galloway, kua haere ki runga ki te mākete mo te £ 695,000 i muri i te hurihanga i nga ruinga tawhito. I hokona e John rāua ko Janet Brennan (matau) a Barnholm Castle (māui) mō te £ 65,000 anake i te tau 1997, ā, kua whakapau rau mano pauna ki te whakahou i a ia. Engari ināianei kei runga i te mākete mō ngā tono neke atu i te £695,000 ahakoa i taua utu ka ngaro te tokorua i te moni e ono-mati.

I tū tuatahi mai te whānau Brennan ki te whare rangatira e tata ana ki Gatehouse of Fleet - i te wā i noho ai tētahi peka o te hapū kaha o McCulloch - i te tau 1997 i te wā he korakora noa iho te whare rangatira.

Ko te rohe noho nui o te whare rangatira, i whakaahuatia, ko te whare nui i mua i roto i te pa kaha, e whakaarohia ana i noho i te minita Scottish a John Knox. Ko te rūma nui o Barnholm Castle inaianei ko te kīhini o te whare papai, he nui rawa mo te tepu kai me nga taputapu hou katoa. Ko tētahi o ngā rūma moe e whā i roto i te whare £700,000. I hokona e te whānau Brennan te pā i te tau kotahi mano e iwa rau e iwa tekau mā whitu, ā, e whā ngā tau i whiwhi ai i te whakaaetanga whakamahere, ā, e rua ngā tau i whakahoutia ai. Ahakoa e hokona ana te whare mo te £695,000, kua whakapau te tokorua i nga rau mano ki te whakahou i te whare rangatira, ko te tikanga ka ngaro ratou.
