Monymusk Village, laid out 1716, Sir Archibald Grant. Although Monymusk is the classic estate village, it was more organically grown than it seems at first sight. When first laid out with a long, rectangular central space, this green was
used as a cattle pound by Banffshire drovers and the houses were of clay-bonded stone and heather-thatched. They were rebuilt largely in the 1860s and gradually Tudorised, 1889-1902, by Sir Arthur Grant.
