What is recorded here

Stonebyres rose from a medieval tower beside the Linn Burn into a sprawling Scots Baronial mansion, hosting Douglas and Weir families until demolition in 1934. Its grounds once held a curling loch, walled garden, coach house and four entrance lodges, while the main house vanished, leaving only ruined walls and memory. The place still belongs to imagination: a man might stand beside the Linn Burn at dusk, hearing carriage wheels on a drive that no longer exists.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Stonebyres as Country House (post Medieval), Tower House (medieval). 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.

Stonebyres is a medieval tower house located in Scotland, likely built between the 14th and 16th centuries, typical of the period's defensive and noble architecture. It is remembered as an example of the transition from purely defensive structures to more comfortable, high-status residences in Scottish history.
