Lundie House: Prior to the erection of Camperdown House, the family residence was Lundie House, a plain old

building which stood near the W side of the park. It was demolished at the beginning of the 19th century.

Lundie House was typical of the mid-17th century style, and was two storeys in height. It stood a short distance

W of the present mansion. It formed a quadrangle with a central courtyard, with the front entrance to the S. It

was demolished shortly after 1828 and a pump marks its site.

A fragment of the old garden retaining wall, which adjoined the house on the N, still remains, now adjacent to

the stables.
