Details Tower-house/mansion. The nucleus is an L-plan turreted towerhouse of three-storeys and attic dated 1636 although the lower parts are possibly older. A long three-storey and attic west wing with a north-west angle was turret added probably in the later 17th century, filling the re-entrant angle at the north-west, two-storey south-east wing with a piended roof added mid 18th century. West addition was demolished and a new two-storey west wing with dormerheads on the west flank and the turret tops restored (higher than the original), a new front door, south-east wing re-roofed with crow-stepped gables and a 2/3 storey building linking to the old towerhouse was built in 1882. There have been further later alterations to the circular south-west tower, south crow-stepped gable and corbelled chimney, and an east addition. It belonged to the Earls of Kintore. The C-listed garden walls have rusticated gatepiers with cornices, concave pyramidal caps and ball finials. To the north-west is an 18th century dovecot, a large double chamber rectangular lean-to, no crowsteps with three conical finials on the back wall. It is of red rubble with a rat course, and there are 760 nesting boxes in each chamber.
