Lord Erskine and his descendants held the Barony in the 15th and 16th centuries. In 1639 Sir John Gordon held house when Montrose threatened with siege. Remains of 3 m thick walls were found in 1890 when the hall (NJ83SE0096) was built. In 1990 stones were disturbed when a service trench was cut on the site.
