Derek Carter Associates were commissioned by the National Trust for Scotland in June 2006 to carry out an Historic Landscape Survey of Leith Hall Estate, Aberdeenshire. This was to include a desk-based study and a field survey and was completed in July 2007. The Archaeology and Built Structures Gazetteer was written by Murray Archaeological Services as sub-consultants to DCA.
