The Blenheim of Buchan. One of the great estates of NE Scotland, first built by the eccentric Ferguson family in the early 18th century. The house was extended, probably by John Smith c. 1809, and subsequently was demolished in 1927, its magnificent glazed veranda re-erected at the farm of Kinloch, St Fergus.

Much survives of the estate, mainly because the Fergusons spared little expense.
