Parts of it date from the 16th or 17th century, but it has been extensively altered and extended in the ensuing centuries. It was a seat of the Gordons. It is Category B listed, but the citation <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB2911" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB2911">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> is unusually lacking in information.
