On the farm of Barney Mains, there are extensive ruins known as the Vaults or 'Vouts'.  In the warlike times of 1470 the nobles were in open rebellion and it was found necessary to fortify the convents and other religious establishments.  The 'Barney Vouts' were erected for this purpose by Sir John Seton of Barnes.  The buildings were situated on a bold promontory stretching from the highlands of Garleton; and from the arched stone roofs of the under story, were commonly called 'the Vaults'.  These vaults surrounded a spacious square where the beeves and other beasts of pasture belonging to the barony might repose in security, free from the knife of the marauder, while the nut-brown ale lay unrippled in the adjoining catacombs'.  Sir John Seton was proprietor of most of the land around Aimsfield.  He died in 1594 and was buried in the nave of the old church of Haddington where a grand carved monument can be seen in the Seton's of the Barnes' burying place.
