What is recorded here

Arbuthnott House is an 18th century country house built over a possible medieval motte, hiding 14th century barrel-vaulted chambers beneath its polished exterior. The Arbuthnott family has held the land since the late 12th century, layering a 1420 castle, a 1588 house and a 1754 enlargement into one continuous residence. Those forgotten vaults still hold their breath beneath the gardens, waiting for someone to walk past the bridge and imagine the hands that first shaped them.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Arbuthnott House as Country House (18th Century) (1754), Motte (medieval)(possible), Tower House (medieval).

Arbuthnott House is a 18th-century country house built in 1754, likely by the Arbuthnott family, who were a prominent Scottish land-owning family. It is important as a historic example of Scottish country house architecture and as part of the region's long-standing aristocratic heritage.
