Background
History
The original house was designed by Sir William Bruce in the classical style for Sir Thomas Moncreiffe, 1st Baronet and was completed in 1679. It was the headquarters of the Polish I Corps, which was formed under Scottish Command in September 1940, during the Second World War. After the original house was completely destroyed by fire 1957, claiming the life of Sir David Moncreiffe of that Ilk, 10th Baronet and 23rd Laird, it was rebuilt to a design by Sir William Kininmonth in 1962. An ancient stone circle stands in the grounds of the house.
