More Details here

Mansion house, still in use, within a designed landscape (NO75NW0010). It was built in 1637, partly incorporating its 16th century predecessor, Craig Castle. The original building was an open square in plan. There have been 19th century alterations, and it is now an L-plan mansion, made up of the North and West wings of the original plan, and is two storeys and an attic in height. Two earlier square towers with corbelled parapets and crow stepped cap-houses still occupy the South-East and South-West angles of the inner courtyard, and an enclosing wall stretches between them joining the mansion at the West, forming a U-plan open to the East. The entrance to the inner courtyard has been near the South-East tower. There is a datestone marked 1637 above the entrance on the East wall of the West wing. It is also known as Craiges House, Craig Castle, Craiges Castle, The Craig, House of the Craigs and House of the Craiges.
