Visited today with Sonorg, cracking wee explore. Especially if you have a fetish for manequinns, I dont personally, but if you did, you'd love this place.

Info straight from building at risk

Georgian country house built around the nucleus of a simple square keep of c.1500. The tall crowstep-gabled wings to the east and west were added in 1673. The bow-fronted elevation to the south was added in the 18th century and completely encases the original keep on that side. The Scottish Baronial additions to the west date to 1851 and are by David Bryce (1803-1876). The original keep is now only visible along its north front and a little of its east side. It is in coursed and harled rubble and rises through 3 storeys to a crenellated parapet borne on corbels. A gabled garret storey sits above. The first floor string course continues along the 17th century wing to the east.

Everything about this building was grand, curved doors, wooden panels throughout and a lovely staircase.
