Former neo-classical mansion built in rough ashlar granite for Lord Lovat to designs by John Smith. The house is now a roofless shell, partially obscured by a cattle shed erected in place of the former portico of fluted Doric columns. The landscaped grounds by William Sawrey Gilpin (1762-1845) are now obscured by farmland. (Dean & Miers) In the mid 19th century the estate came into the possession of the Baird Family, owners of the famous Gartsherrie Iron Works. (C McKean)
