Curiously enough, right next to Stirkoke House in the map Iain Laird posted
http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?G2M?X=331621&Y=950768&A=Y&Z=3
is a place called Greystones. Hm. Did E.R. Burroughs run together the two
names Greystones and Stirkoke together to produce Greystoke?
However, there is a Greystoke Castle in Penrith, Cumbria, England.
That's not in Scotland, but at one time Cumbria was in Scotland,
and perhaps ERB took a few liberties with the location.
