From the great strength and thickness of the wall Mr. Inglis the proprietor thinks that the building was at one time considerably higher than it is now, but of this there is no certainty, its whole appearance has been much modernised and altered in many ways. [Quotation] "The old house of Colluthie is said to have been erected by Sir William Ramsay of Colluthie who about 1356 married Isabel, Countess of Fife, daughter of Duncan the last Earl of Fife, of the ancient race of Macduff. In consequence of his marriage with the Countess, he was invested with the earldom, says Sir James Balfour, by David the Second, by the cincture of the belt and sword as the custom then was. (Nisbets Heraldry Vol. 1 p 34) He died without hairs [sic] , and the investiture reverted it to the crown. and his own estates to his other hairs, whose successors long possessed Colluthie.
