Mounie Castle, built circa 1641 by Robert Farquhar, Provost of Aberdeen. It subsequently passed in 1701-2 to Alexander Hay of Arnbath and then in 1714 to George Seton earning it the moniker of the 'Last Seton Castle'. It is a good example of a Laird's house, a plain harled three-storey main block aligned north-south with crow-stepped gables, with a circular stair tower projecting eastwards from the middle of the east front. The stair tower is very elegantly corbelled to square to form a little cap-house-like top. The one and a half storeyed building at the northeast is late 18th century. The garden house (at NJ7658 2866) was previously a 17th Century dovecot, although no dovecot features survive. See NJ72NE0093 for designed landscape.
