What is recorded here

Mounie Castle is a plain harled lairds house built circa 1641 by Robert Farquhar, Provost of Aberdeen. It later became the Last Seton Castle for George Seton, keeping a circular stair tower and crow-stepped gables that still mark its northern alignment. The nearby garden house began as a 1694 dovecot before taking on a newer domestic role.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Mounie Castle as Lairds House (17th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Mounie Castle, built in the 17th century, served as a laird's house and is remembered for its historical association with local Scottish landholding and architecture of the period.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
