017.15 | "The unpretending mansion of the Ogilvies of Barras, whose ancestor, for his gallant defence of Dunnottar Castle, and the preservation of the regalia, had the unsubstantial reward of a baronetcy, was once to have been numbered among the buildings of note in this parish, but it has long ceased to be the residence of that family and is now used as an ordinary farm house." (New Stat Act [Statistical Account] P [Page] 223) This mansion house is not inhabited, it is now partly in ruins, a portion of the West end having been taken down, the walls are very thick and substantial but there is nothing of the Castellated style of Architecture about the building, it appears to have been a good substantial country house.
