by A.G.R. Mackenzie 1956)

Original house was burnt c.1900. Information from Demolitions catalogue held in RCAHMS library. For architectural history of Candacraig House see Historic Scotland List Description HB No: 16164.

(Undated) information in NMRS.

Candacraig House, 1835, John Smith. The house itself is much remodelled, the present two-storey asymmetrical harled structure being a delightful reconstruction by A G R Mackenzie of Smith's Jacobean house, which had itself incorporated a house of earlier date. The W wing was added (1900) by George Gordon and partly remodelled (1956) after a fire. It has an angular and all too obtrusive bay rising above the wallhead.

I Shepherd 1994.

Reconstructed from ruins of a Jacobean mansion which had itself incorporated a house of earlier date.
