Description
An account of the resource
<p>This Georgian building by John Adam, was constructed on part of the site of the original medieval Castle, of which parts of two walls and a good length of the moat can be seen, north of the present building.</p><p>Built for the Seafield family, it is a classical three storey, five window block with a tall pavilion roof. 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. There are interesting interiors, especially on the first floor.</p><p>The grounds afford spectacular views across Banff Bay.</p><p>Image (c) www.scran.ac.uk</p>
