The house was believed by Clouston to incorporate a very much older building. [R1]

Great house and home farm, centre of the Baikie estate. The home farm is surrounded by a high castellated wall with Gothic niches in it. The house looks east i.e. seawards, and the boundary on this side is a ha-ha (ditch and sunken wall). The style of the home-farm buildings is reflected in the fishing-station OR 45 and the boathouse OR 53.
