The heraldic panel at the S elevation reads 'God give grace'. The interior inscription '1734, RSH' refers to Richard Holden, an Irishman who made improvements in linen processing and to whom Baldovie was feued in that year. There is what appears to be an ice house adjacent to the E boundary wall. Baldovie House is now used as the Michelin Athletic Club, which was responsible for the north and west additions.
