This beautiful Georgian house overlooking the Montrose Basin was designed and built by William Adam in 1730 for David Erskine, Lord Dun. Joseph Enzer accomplished the superb contemporary plasterwork.
Lady Augusta Kennedy-Erskine was the natural daughter of William IV and Mrs Jordan, and the house contains royal mementos of that period and many examples of Lady Augusta's woolwork and embroidery.
There is a fine collection of family portraits, furniture and porcelain.
Courtyard buildings include handloom-weaving workshop.
The small walled garden to the east of the house has been largely restored to a late Victorian period and includes a range of plants typical of the 1880s.
