Invercauld House was recorded by the Threatened Buildings Survey prior to the house and estate being let. The original Z-plan tower house seat of the Farquharsons of Invercauld has been greatly extended and includes building phases dated 1820 and 1847. J T Wimperis of London designed further lare extensions in 1875. The house is a good example of the Scots Baronial in one of the styles heartlands, Royal Deeside.
