006 | A Large mansion house the seat and property of Lord Dumferline. it was erected in 1820, the shape of which is rectangular two storeys in height with side wings of smaller dimensions - on the whole neat and tastefully built. the park is rather limited for the size of the house, but there is a large garden situated a short distance South, which in comparison exceeds any for size in the County.
