The original purpose of the temple was simply a landscape feature or βfollyβ, designed to be seen from the mansion house and by visitors arriving at Castle Semple. It also served as a summer house with panoramic views. The design of the building probably comes from James Gibbs βBook of Architectureβ, published in 1728, a sort of architectβs scrapbook of ideas. Gibbs described his designs as βsummer houses in the form of temples of an octagonal form. The Follie originally had a roof and glazed windows but these were damaged in a fire. It also had trees planted beside it.

Unusual, octagonal building, high on a hill on the banks of Lochwinnoch. The building is a part of the nearby Castle Semple House, however, since its construction the 1700s, its purpose is now somewhat uncertain.
