Mansion house, designed by Archibald Simpson, built on site of earlier manor, variously named as Crimonmogate, Crimon-mogat, and Crimmond-Mogget House. Now no trace of earlier manor. Although the existing house (A-Listed) was erected for Sir Charles Bannerman in circa 1823, the old mansion, of which nothing appears to survive, was built in circa 1696 for John Hay. He was the last of a family who had held the estate of Crimonmogate from circa 1471. In 1723, by which time the estate was in the hands of creditors, the old house was merely acknowledged as 'another gentleman's house'. The 19th Century house is of Neo-Greek style, 2-storey, constructed of ashlar granite with a tall single storey centre section on the south front with a hexastyle unfluted Greek-doric pedimented portico. Very fine interior work, cube central hall with ApolloDidyma type anta capitals, coffered ceiling and centre dome. Structures within the grounds include stable block (B-Listed) with a dairy (B-Listed), laundry (C-listed) and garden (C-Listed) (all NK05NW0049), an 18th century sundial (B-Listed) (NK05NW0063), and 19th century game larder (C-Listed) (NK05NW0062), a lodge (C-listed) (NK05NW0057), a steading/piggery (NK05NW0047), a 19th century memorial monument (B-listed) (NK05NW0064), kennels (C-listed) (NK05NW0055), a house (C-listed) (NK05NW0056), walled garden (C-listed) (NK05NW0053) and a mid 18th Century dovecot (B-listed) (NK05NW0058).
