Although the earliest part of this existing (but derelict) mansion appears to date from 1770, it probably lies on or near the site of the earlier 'dwellinghouse of Abercromby of Glassah' which William Ogilvie mentions in 1724. Latterly a residence of the Duffs of Glassaugh and Fetteresso, Glassaugh House was much enlarged in 1840 by Archibald Simpson, the distinguished architect. Perhaps the best-known of all the lairds of Glassaugh was General Abercromby who, in 1758, commanded the British forces at the battle of Ticonderoga. He had earlier served on the staff of the Duke of Cumberland.
