It was planned as the dower house for Mary, dowager Countess of Findlater, and continued as a private house well into the 20th century. There are flanking two storey pavilions that have been restored, and there are plans to restore the curving link wall to the western pavilion. The porch is a later addition and the cupola over the well was built in 1926.
