Once described as the most beautiful Regency House in Scotland (‘Scottish Field’ 1950s). Built circa 1825 for the Dunbar Family by Archibald Simpson of Aberdeen, considered to be an architectural genius of his time, the house is set on the site of an earlier 16th century building mentioned in the court circulars of Mary Queen of Scots.
