What is recorded here

Kininvie House stands in Moray as a layered tower where a 1523 defensive core still rises beside rooms rebuilt by William Robertson in 1840. The Leslie family held the place from 1523 to 1943, and their name remains written into its stone identity. Inside the old west tower, a wheel stair climbs through single chambers that may have echoed with footsteps, arguments and quiet prayers long before the grander rooms appeared.
