Tankerness House. A composite building, the earliest part dating from the 16thc. It is built round an almost rectangular courtyard and entered from the street through a heavily moulded round arched gateway above which is an armorial panel dated to 1561. In the 18th century the 'L' shaped W wing was re-modelled if not entirely rebuilt. The S and E wings with the offices on the N are of later date.
