Details	Place of Tilliefoure was first mentioned as a hunting seat of the Earl of Mar before the property was bestowed on the Leslies of Wardhouse in 1508. A renewed panel above the doorway bears the date 1627. It has been a sturdy, almost squat house of 2-storeys and garret, built on a Z-plan with square towers. It fell into decay, but was drastically restored and added to in 1884. A courtyard lies to the south of the house, entered by a arched gateway.
