Margaret Scott, heiress of Monzie, deeded three-quarters of the lands in 1613 to her son, James Graeme, who later built a house on the property. The house has a marriage lintel (in fact in this instance a pediment) dating from around 1635 bearing the figure of a man with a moustache holding corn in one hand and a bible in the other flanked by the letters M, I and G. M was Marjory the wife of James Graeme (IG). At the base is a Greek inscription translating as "I am led by scripture". Two further pediments are one in Latin and one in Hebrew: ""Seek the One I worship" and "I have found his Prosperity". James Graeme died at the
Battle of Philiphaugh in 1645. The building may have incorporated an earlier
fortalice as there are
garderobes in the walls of the west wing. The estate was sold to Colin Campbell of Lagvinshoch in 1666 and passed from him to his son
Patrick Campbell, Lord Monzie. His descendant,
General Alexander Campbell,
MP, enlarged the house by adding a much larger castellated building on its east side in 1797–1800 that was designed by
John Patterson. The house was inherited by Charles Maitland-Makgill-Crichton in 1900. The interior of the addition was gutted by a fire in 1908 and rebuilt by Sir
Robert Lorimer over the next four years in his own style. ==Description==
